wxruby users - Feb 2009 - Proper way to use SplashScreen?

Hey all.  I''m using Wx 1.9.9 on ruby 1.8.6.  I can''t seem to
instantiate
a SplashScreen without causing a SystemStackError -- am I doing
something wrong?

This code is in my App''s on_init() method:

splash_img = Wx::Bitmap.new( ''/tmp/image.png'',
Wx::BITMAP_TYPE_PNG )
Wx::SplashScreen.new( splash_img,
    Wx::SPLASH_CENTRE_ON_SCREEN | Wx::SPLASH_TIMEOUT,
    3000, nil, -1 )

... which produces the following, after the splash times out.

./test:138:in `show'': stack level too deep (SystemStackError)
        from ./test:138:in `main_loop''
        from ./test:138


Thanks for any insight.

don''t
know why :-/
