At the bottom of this email is a contrived example of something I was  
able to do in 1.8.2, but results in a RuntimeError with either 1.8.3  
or 1.8.4.

Essentially, I’m registering a service with a ring “in-process”. Can  
someone please tell me whether this should work in 1.8.4 (i.e. a bug),  
or how I must restructure it in order to upgrade?

When run with 1.8.4, I get the following trace after a 5s timeout:

/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/rinda/ring.rb:212:in `lookup_ring_any': RingNotFound (RuntimeError) from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/rinda/ring.rb:109:in`finger’  
from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/rinda/ring.rb:118:in `primary' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/rinda/ring.rb:241:in`provide’  
from ./ringserver.rb:14

But 1.8.2 has no issues whatsoever.

Thanks for your help,  
Jim

Jim -

I too am experiencing this symptom.

Have you resolve this?

Thanx for your thoughts.
