The joy of multi-threading… it’s 80% reproducible and a puts here or  
there will throw off that number…

As for the unit tests, it seems they are runned as an at_exit hook,  
so that explains why the output isn’t captured despite the new approach.

I will probably just revert my changes -- Sune has mentioned that for  
this to really work, RubyMate needs to be written in C and embed the  
interpreter :/
