Subject: Re: Is mod_ruby safe to use?

I remember seeing not too long ago a little gotcha somewhere in the
mod_ruby documentation that you get memory leaks if you use 'apachectl
restart' because memory allocated by the interpreter wasn't freed, but
I don't see it now -- was it fixed?  That was the only issue that made
me hesitate to have it installed hither and yon.
