Thank you.  This pointed me in the right direction.  The problem
was:

+ multiple versions of ruby
+ Log4r rev 1.1.0 and 1.0.1, one in each version

irb was working correctly off 1.1.0
ruby was working incorrectly off 1.0.1 (the interface changed)

The error pointed to a call in the initialize method of an
object created in a thread...
