Unfortunately, Ruby's killer app makes use of pretty much every one of 
these hacks -- and rake freeze:edge throws its source code right in your 
own directory tree. What's more, development mode is constantly 
meta-mucking at every http request. How's a poor interpreter to know 
what's trusted and what's not?

(Or: what Pat said.)
