“Ruby has a bug in how the array works and how threads are garbage collected. At the time I was testing this, me and Bradley Taylor narrowed the problem down and produced these two scripts. Several high profile idiots on ruby-lang tried to claim the test was invalid but couldn’t offer a reason why the first script leaked and the second didn’t. After much arguing, calling me an idiot, debating the merits of OS memory allocation, and other stupidities, we find out that Eric Mahurin fixed the whole problem a year ago and it was missed.
