[bjm88 (Ben Maisano)]

We are in the process of upgrading our ruby on rails application to 3.2.21 and also ruby from 1.9.latest to 2.1.latest. This process worked fine on our test ubuntu machines. Our developers on Mac OS x 10.10 are running into a variety of issues though doing bundle install of depenedent libraries. After we overcame those, we tried starting rails console via
bundle exec rails c
which results in a ruby crash. The details and crash report are attached below. Any information about this or hints as to what part of code or library is causing this would be useful, thank you.

It starts and then I see this in standard out..
(process:87762): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_param_spec_pool_lookup: assertion 'pool != NULL' failed
a bunch of times...

Looks to me like this can be closed. The crash report hints that the poppler gem was to blame for this crash and it looks like Ben has addressed this with the poppler folks here: https://github.com/ruby-gnome2/ruby-gnome2/issues/361

Ben, can you confirm this is all set? Thanks.
