Possible Bug in Array Shift

Hi,

I've described a problem with the implementation of Array shift in  
Ruby 1.8.4 here:

<http://recursive.ca/hutch/index.php?p=361>

I believe that this is the source of the problem Mongrel had  
experienced with the Mutex and a memory leak.

I've described a possible (single line) solution to this in the  
article. What I am not completely sure of is what the intended  
semantics of shift actually is, consequently the suggested fix may be  
inappropriate. I'll leave that to someone else to decide.

Cheers,
Bob
