It seems that the ruby-script is returning an error.  I
have yet to find a way to give a meaningfull message when
the script dies.
Could you run it on the command-line, and see if it gives
an error?  Otherwise it will wait for input, and you can
stop it with control-c.  I will add a test to this script
to check for other runtime errors.
