I was able to use it for a while but it seems it suffers from race
conditions. I got this today:

./imports/../config/../app/models/xmldoc.rb:20: [BUG] rb_gc_mark():
unknown data type 0x38(0x8bbb4c8) non object
ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24) [i486-linux]

The mailing list seems dead as well. I'm going to try to use teius.
