I''ve been fighting this one for a year, so I hope I can find some answers here. : ) http://rafb.net/paste/results/HoC17M79.html That implementation of instance_exec might look a little weird. I''ve gone through several, including the one in activesupport... they all have this problem. This doesn''t happen with normal classes, so it has something to do with the AR voodoo. Hope you guys can help. Thanks! -- Jeff Lindsay http://devjavu.com -- Free Trac and Subversion http://blogrium.com -- A blog about things
