Possible ways to fix this might (might) be to ensure that every socket 
read/write is 'not at the same time as any other read/write' (i.e. 
surrounded by a mutex lock), or to perhaps write a drop in replacement 
for the TCPSocket class that just uses EventMachine in the background 
for I/O and queues the input/output.

I still haven't ever found a fix for the problem of defining methods in 
one thread and the methods are assigned to a different thread.  I think 
I may just report this one to ruby and forget about it.

Good luck all.
