Really it comes down to finding "small interpreter failings".  Rails really 
stresses JRuby.  Pick a rails thing (I did *some* work toward getting webrick 
running with an "empty app"), and run it.  When something fails, figure out 
why by digging through the Ruby code until you can narrow the failure down to 
a small case.  The vast majority of these turn out to be easy to fix, but 
you'll spend hours trying to make a small example of it.
