Hi Laurent: I'm not sure what the definition of a "kernel panic" is. My system Finder becomes unresponsive. A/V streams stop displaying video but continue to play audio and my MacRuby app continues to run to completion.
I have a busy CPU running a DisplayLink USB monitor connection and I suspect the DisplayLink driver could be involved if it doesn't get enough CPU resources. I will test it again with a newer DisplayLink driver and with the USB monitor connection. But it seems that MacRuby runs at a high priority since I can't reproduce the problem when I run the CPU up to 100% with other applications.
