Hi.

| You script returns the expected result for me (only car 1).  WinXP, Ruby
1.8.2.

Weird! Here I'm running Slackware 10.1-current, Ruby 1.8.2.

| I'm guessing garbage collection is happening asynchronously, and that
| your listCars executed before car 4 was collected?  Try sleep(2) in
| between GC.start and listCars to see if that changes the result.

No change, even if I sleep more than 2 seconds, but if I make

GC.start
sleep(1)
GC.start

it works, only rest Car 1.

| This is only a guess, and could be very wrong.  I have not looked at
| the Ruby source to verify how garbage collection works.

But it's a beggining and prove me that I'm not at least fully crazy ehehe.
There is something there.

Thanks!
