Subject: DRb and exceptions

Hi all,

The drb documentation says that I can raise exceptions in a remote
object method and the exception is marshaled to the calling side.

Unfortunately this do not work for me. If any exception is raised in a
remote object, I get the following exception in the calling process:

c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/drb/drb.rb:558:in `load': connection closed
(DRb::DRbConnError)
        from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/drb/drb.rb:611:in `recv_reply'
        from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/drb/drb.rb:865:in `recv_reply'
        from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/drb/drb.rb:1104:in `send_message'
        from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/drb/drb.rb:1015:in `method_missing'
        from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/drb/drb.rb:1014:in `open'
        from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/drb/drb.rb:1014:in `method_missing'
        from chaos.rb:27:in `initialize'
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ here I called a remote method

What do I do wrong?

Thanks:
Ferenc
