I’ve been working on a version of distributed Ruby that makes use of  
EventMachine ([http://rubyforge.org/projects/emdrb](http://rubyforge.org/projects/emdrb)) and so far, it  
seems to work well enough for most of the obvious stuff I use  
distributed Ruby for. I’ve also added extensions to it that allow one  
to make asynchronous method calls and the ability to run server code  
in an event-driven fashion (experimental). However, the library is  
also supposed to be a drop-in replacement for the traditional DRb, and  
I imagine there must be a fair bit of functionality that I’m still  
missing or stuff that doesn’t work quite right. Is there a bunch of  
unit tests out there that can be used to put DRb through its paces?
