Rails - Feb 2006 - Object Finalizers help

Heya guys,

   This one is bothering me as its evading my eye.  I''m trying to set a
callback on finalization of an object, ie: a finalizer set through a 
plugin to the model.

Example In Plugin:
def acts_as_goat
  class_eval do
    ObjectSpace.define_finalizer(self, Proc.new {self.conn.close} )
  end
end

class UberGoat < ActiveRecord::Base
  acts_as_goat
end

Anyways, it seems to not be calling the finalizer?  Is this the correct 
way to set a finalizer or am I going about it the wrong way.   I need to 
close a socket connection _after_ the model is done being used, not 
necessarily a destroy, but out of scope where GC usually happens.

Thanks for any help.
