Ah, yes, I know where you're coming from here. I have some reservations about the line separator issue too, but nothing serious enough to keep the patch out for now. We'll have to fix the issue correctly at some point, though. Marshalling is somewhat tricky, but when I last checked the code, it didn't seem to be that much of a problem. What are the complications? Is the error with FlashHash that our marshalling doesn't dump the class name for native classes? I wish I could help more, but until thursday I'll be more or less unable to do any JRuby work since my day work have this disturbing tendency to become evening-work. and night-work. and morning-work. and weekend-work. But if there is something really important, throw me a mail and I'll see if I can find some time. Of course, it feels great with all the current progress!
