Hello.

I create rails application through command:

> rails rails

Get spec file through:

> ./script/generate rspec_model example

Get spork bootstrap:

> spork -b

Some edit in spec_helper.

First situation:

> spork
> ./script/spec --drb spec/models/example_spec.rb

Ok, no error.

Secondary situation:

i add

config.gem 'net-ping', :lib => 'net/ping' net-ping

in config/environment.rb and try:

> spork
> ./script/spec --drb spec/models/example_spec.rb

Result in spork screen:

I've released net-ping 1.3.3 and Ruby 1.9.2 is out now I think.
Are you still seeing this error?

I tried ruby 1.9.1p420 (2010-02-04 revision 26571) [i686-
linux]. The problem is repeated.

I'm not sure and confused too ;) but i think trouble in net-
ping, because Ruby Drb work without him. May be having problems 
when class Net::Ping loading and something overload.

Sorry for my english.

I'm confused. What does this have to do with net-ping exactly?
