Subject: RubyCocoa and sheets

I'm using RubyCocoa, translating an Objective-C checkbook application to
Ruby. My problem comes when I try to close a modal sheet. I open it from
within a subclass of OSX::NSWindowController. The window() method returns
the NSPanel that is being used as a sheet. Here's the code I use to open
it:

        NSApp().beginSheet_modalForWindow_modalDelegate_didEndSelector_contextInfo(window(), @parentWindow, self, nil, nil)
        NSApp().runModalForWindow(window())

I try to close the sheet using this code, which is called when the user
clicks either "Ok" or "Cancel":

        NSApp().endSheet(window())
        window().orderOut(nil)

The problem is, I get a stack dump on the "endSheet" line. I think the dump
is saying that the window() argument is not legitimiate. My confusion
arises because this same code works in Objective-C.

        [NSApp endSheet:window];
        [window orderOut:nil];

Here's the stack dump I see. Any suggestions?
