That message indicates that the underlying C++ object (in this case,  
an FXTextField) that a Ruby object is pointing to has already been  
deleted (freed). It's not something that you should see under normal  
circumstances, and it may indicate a bug in FXRuby's GC code  
(especially since you report that the behavior is inconsistent).

If it's something you'd like for me to take a look at, please send me  
the code off-line.

Thanks,
