The MBARI Patches to MRI have been updated for 1.8.7 patchlevel 352

The code is available on github at:

http://github.com/brentr/matzruby

You can find a description of each patch with installation instructions 
here:

The patched 1.8.7-352 interpreter passes all the "make check"* tests and 
does not leak memory (as all the unpatched MRI 1.6 and 1.8 series 
interpreters do) for such simple test cases as to one attached**.  If 
you are still running the 1.8 series MRI and are experiencing leaks, 
especially with long running multithreaded applications, I'd be 
interested to hear about your experiences with these patches.


*note:  the tests of the soap protocol do not run on my test systems, 
either with or without the MBARI patchset.
             Many others have reported this.  For now, I choose to 
exclude the soap tests.  Does anyone have a fix for this?

** DO NOT run the attached script without monitoring memory use or 
setting a process memory quota.
     Otherwise, it will consume all available memory within minutes
