We still encountered a gc_sweep in our use of Ruby 1.8 on Linux (v8).

Yes, there are several (Ruby) threads working during this gc_sweep.

IE, you don't have a clear list of what the arguments are. Beyond that, it just seems like a perpetual point of confusion; like I said, I get a lot of questions about the magic arguments in REXML. I can't really qualify it, because I don't understand why it is such a perplexing situation; if I did, I wouldn't have used them in the first place. The code block that deals with the hashes seems to give be debugging problems, too, although I don't know if it gives me more problems than anything else. > > I do have to say that this is the singularly unfortunate thing about Ruby > > 1.x -- the lack of parametric method dispatching combined with the lack > > of named parameters is a really caustic combination[1].
