I thought that too and tried to fix it. However not knowing hardly any ruby proved a bit of a hinderence.

I could, although I wouldn't be able to tell you if it works anymore. After installing 0.3 again, in preparation for trying the patch, I found I no
longer hit the problem. I haven't updated ferret during this time, so perhaps my message count has fallen low enough not to trigger the problem, if
I hit this again I will try the patch and let you know.
