[Backgroundrb-devel] Exception when doing DRb remote calls from a BackgrounDRb worker

[Geoff Garside]

Hi Sergio,
Are you getting this error when you do something like

	w = MiddleMan.worker(:worker_key)
	w.do_work

or when you actually call `MiddleMan.worker`? Usually its happened  
like this to me

	key = MiddleMan.new_worker(:class => :my_worker)
	-- Exception has been thrown here inside BackgrounDRb
	w = MiddleMan.worker(key)
	-- Get ERRNO exception here

The exception thrown by the worker in BackgrounDRb is dumped out to  
log/backgroundrb.log. Because the worker crashes out my call to  
`worker` fails and raises an exception.

Does that help?
