I hate to follow up my own message but pack.rb line 156 (my older version of shoes) has this line of ruby dmg.grow(10)
That seems like an arbitrary number that some folks have reported. I don't know what dmg.grow() does, but a hacker might up that to 30 or 40 and see what happens. Or one could read the docs for binject. Where that pack.rb is on your system and which copy of shoes you are using if you have multiples... Just something to look at. --Cecil On Fri, 2009-05-22 at 21:00 -0600, Cecil Coupe wrote: > It might be easier to debug and fix the problem than implement a > workaround, IMHO.
