I'm game (and that happens to be my consulting fee :P). Can you send  
me a detailed description of:

+ what your environment is (OS+version, ruby+version, compiler 
+version, relevant gems + versions).
+ what's wrong (minimally reproducible test case if possible, full  
bug + output otherwise).
+ what you expect to see

I have lunch + hacking plans with Evan but can be available  
immediately after that. I might/probably don't have the environment  
to reproduce this in properly, so we'll probably have to do this in  
person. I'll call you in a bit.
