Ouaah! This is really good news and it's a good to have a japanese 
speaking person on our mailing list.

Curt will you take care of applying this patch ? After you announced you 
were about to give up on chasing the bug I was really doubting of our 
FOX choice for FreeRIDE. Until GUTOPIA and the wxWindows binding are 
working fine I still think this is the best platform.

And please keep some time at least to test my development on FreeRIDE 
because I'm feeling alone sometimes...

wxWindows would be better because it works the 2.3 version is now 
working on Mac OS X and as you probaly know Ruby is shipped by Apple on 
the Mac OS X 10.2 CD ROM !

Let's say that in 12 months from now when wxWindows 2.4 is out and the 
Ruby binding is rock solid will release a second version of FreeRIDE.
