Strange. I replied in my e-mail, but it didn't post. Hoping it wasn't plugged up in Google somewhere. Here's what I wrote: I'm pretty sure it does. I ran into another issue, while using the FFI from Github: https://gist.github.com/673816 I'm checking the values, all along the way, and I'm not handing it any nils, but it won't believe me. The ffi 0.6.3 gem won't complain about this (but it will blow up at a few spots). Sigh :( Thank you very much, for your help. Scott On Nov 11, 10:21 pm, Wayne Meissner <wmeiss...@gmail.com> wrote:

Earlier versions don't deal well with callbacks coming from non-ruby threads. Also try running it with JRuby. It handles threads a lot better.

That will show you the script I'm running, the gdb backtrace, and ruby- prof (if that helps at all). I basically was benchmarking my library with the one I started branching from. It's all good, until I start running a whole lot of iterations. I made some changes, which seems to have made it less frequent... until I up the number of iterations.

That was the one fix. This GSolr junk of mine uses StreamlyFFI and CurlFFI:
