Thanks for the feed back and the gotcha's! Let me noodle on this a while 
and then possibly start a discussions about my idea's.

One big worry that you've identified is the GC. In the current messaging 
system we manage memory from a pool malloc'd once and never freed. So 
would the following work: I register the entire pool as a single entity 
with the GC. Then can create multiple ruby objects referring into the 
pool. When Ruby is done an object will it try to "free" the object or 
will it know that there is another reference and let me manage the memory?

Thanks in advance,

Wink
