Sure I can. Your conclusion about Mutex is like the conclusion once drawn about the sun. It comes up in the east and goes down in the west, so the evidence clearly shows that the sun rotates around the earth, right? There is nothing wrong with Mutex. It's an incredibly simple piece of code and can quite clearly be demonstrated not to leak. I'm not arguing with the fact that for some users simply swapping Sync in place of Mutex appears to clear a problem. I'm just arguing with your conclusion that this is because Mutex is broken or because Ruby is leaking memory when it is used.
