Hi,

This is 1.8.4 on Linux  
This is try.rb:  
require ‘drb/drb’

socketpath = “/var/tmp/pgproxy”  
proxy = DRb::DRbObject.new(nil, “drbunix:/#{socketpath}”)

## end-of try.rb

socketpath must be a valid unix domain socket of a DRb server.

ruby try.rb  
just runs fine.

But:  
ruby -rdebug try.rb  
Debug.rb  
Emacs support available.

try.rb:1:require ‘drb/drb’  
(rdb:1) c  
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/drb/drb.rb:1647: `DRb::DRbServerNotFound' (DRb::DRbServerNotFound) from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/drb/drb.rb:1647:in`current\_server’  
from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/drb/drb.rb:1681:in `config' from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/drb/drb.rb:1041:in`initialize’  
from try.rb:4  
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/drb/drb.rb:1647: raise DRbServerNotFound unless  
server  
(rdb:1)

drb.rb has in config:  
def config  
current\_server.config  
rescue  
DRbServer.make\_config  
end  
current\_server raises DRb::DRbServerNotFound which just doesn;t get  
caught under  
the debugger.

Any ideas?
