Rodrigo,

The ruby interpreter is not thread safe so access needs to be
serialized. If you access the ruby interpreter from multiple threads
without some form of synchronization it will like cause a core dump.

The thing is, as the ruby interpreter is now, it is most annoying to
work with it from multiple threads. There are all sorts of hacks that
you can do, but I'm pushing it to the back of the work stack, because
I'm naively hoping that someone will come and fix it :-)
