Well, except I first had the problem in the original tarballs (1.0.9
and 1.0.10) that I had downloaded from rubyforge, and then noticed that
the debian package was behaving the same way and that someone had
opened a bug report on it. So it seems it must be the way it interacts
with something on a Debian system.

The bit about repeating stuff worries me. I had no idea everything
before super would be executed twice (but sure enough that seems to be
the case on my laptop - I think it's instructive that on our debian
systems it only prints 'init in CD' once).  Is calling super first a
rule in ruby that I somehow missed, or an assumption that either needs
to be changed or trumpeted from the rooftops?
