Woah! That would cetainly explain it, assuming you use ruby 2.0 for the actual RubyMate script.

We generally recommend that you use ruby 1.8.7 for all the TextMate commands (i.e. have /usr/bin first in your PATH) and then set TM_RUBY to whatever ruby you want used for user scripts.

Do you have any reference on ruby 2.0 closing non-standard file descriptors? I only found the “:close_other” option for spawn, but it doesn’t say it is the default behavior.
