I am using the Ironruby 0.3 release and every time I try to run “igem  
list -r” I get a StackOverFlowException. Am I the only one?

C:\Users\gs\>igem list

\*\*\* LOCAL GEMS \*\*\*

C:\Users\gs\>igem list -r

\*\*\* REMOTE GEMS \*\*\*

Process is terminated due to StackOverflowException.

It’s a bug in splatting. The gems are attempting to splat an array with  
5000+ items, which produces a huge DLR tree. This expression is walked  
by DLR recursive visitor, which leads to a stack overflow.

Ok, that makes sense. Thanks for the reply.
