I've personally confirmed that both the Stanislav Sedov and Hongli Lai's 
1.8.6p111 backport and the Smartleaf 1.8.6p230 revert patches both pass 
the Rails 2.0 test suites, so you should be fine. Another alternative is 
the Phusion Ruby Enterprise Edition, which uses the p111 backport.

The only thing I can remember being different between 1.8.5 and 1.8.6 is 
that the breakpointer feature stopped working, so if you ever need that 
feature, just use ruby-debug instead.
