Subject: Eval Lockup

Hello all,

I am currently modifying Instiki to allow code to be put on wiki pages 
between <% %> tags. It seems to work fine, but now I have run into an 
issue that I am not sure what to do about.  With particular Wiki 
contents, if the eval causes an exception, the exception object that is 
caught is broken somehow. When it do e.message, ruby locks up by going 
into some infiniite loop and sucks all my computer's resources down with 
it (it is worse on Linux than on Windows). I have tried it with the 
latest CVS version of ruby and it still occurs. Does any one have any 
ideas on how to debug this problem. If anyone is interested in trying 
it, I can send them a tar of the instiki directory with my data and code 
mods.

Thanks in advance,

Steve Tuckner
