Hmm... Well I only have a bunch of questions then :)

What platform are you running on?  What ruby version?  Is this
a standalone script, or is it called from some other process (such
as a CGI script called by Apache)?

Do you eventually see any of your printouts at all?  That is, if
a linefeed is eventually printed, do all the "buffered" prints
eventually show up?

Also, in:

Do you really want a control-A?  And is the sharp sign really
ommitted there before the open brace at \ca{ ?
