Hi

I’m still working with Kean to port his ironpython samples, but we’ve  
run  
into another problem now. He needs to override an unsafe virtual method  
and  
then call it from ruby as super.

I’m calling super with no arguments from my two overrides and they both  
seem  
to fail in RubyOverloadResolver.MapSpecialParamaters()

Again to codeplex I guess 🙂
