Wow. I can reproduce the bug by running the initialization code within a
pthread easily now.

Does anybody know which is the correct solution?

I'm protecting ruby by using mutexes - so only one thread will be
evaluating ruby code at any given time.

Where can I find the documentation how to embed Ruby in a multithreaded
environment then?
