Hmm... there is no way to make the interpreter clean up and do a restart? I would have thought this could create similar problems in other applications too where you'd want to embed ruby, e.g. as a language in PostgreSQL (I don't actually remember/know if PostgreSQL works in the same way though). Has Matz said anything about why the required functionality is missing, and if it will be implemented?
