Hey all,

For completeness, heres what was happening:

It was important to call ObjectSpace.garbage_collect() on on each  
timer itteration to clean up the junk, and also, it appears that  
somewhere deep inside ruby std lib (net/http) there must be a call to  
fork() or something which was causing issues, as when i replaced the  
native ruby code with cocoa NSURLConnection stuff the issues stopped  
and the app became stable.

Also, code blocks (do ... end), they were causing issues too - when I  
removed them that improved stability also.

It would be good to try and understand the specific of this behavior -  
might anyone be able to enlighten me?

Cheers

Tim
