Description

[Session started at 2008-03-31 09:46:42 -0700.] Assertion failed: (auto_zone != NULL), function ruby_xmalloc, file gc.c, line 296.

The Debugger has exited due to signal 6 (SIGABRT).The Debugger has exited due to signal 6 (SIGABRT).

I'm guessing, but I bet that I have to turn GC on, because it has to be OFF for RubyCocoa, but ON for MacRuby. Someone should put a useful message on that assertion like "Hey dummy, turn on GC".
