Yes, of course =E2=80=93 and I am reporting them as soon as I can put my fi=
nger
on the exact code that causes the problem and turn it into an example.
I=E2=80=99m currently bitten by JRUBY-4098, as the crux of my architecture =
is
based on nested, lazy, block-initialised Enumerators; I=E2=80=99m also fina=
lly
slowly grasping what=E2=80=99s the problem behind implementing them in JRub=
y.

(I also understand why waiting for a RubySpec-green 1.9.2 makes
sense before fully committing to support 1.9 features in JRuby.)

Thanks for your work on JRuby =E2=80=93 and for your time at RuPy!
