Rumai is a [1]Ruby interface to the [2]wmii window manager.
Version 3.1.1 (2009-11-16)
I recently updated to ruby 1.9 and rumai started crashing every few hours.
wmii just froze, the mouse and keyboard still worked, but none of the
keyboard shortcuts worked. The log file had messages like

I have been using rumai for almost 6-7 months now, and it was always
extremely stable So, I assumed that ruby 1.9 was at fault and switched
back to ruby 1.8 and everything is stable again (for the last one hour :).
I do not really need ruby 1.9, so sticking to 1.8 is not a problem for me.
But I am curious if others face a similar problem with ruby 1.9.
