Added protection for R garbage collection when objects can still be accessed from Ruby #8

Closed aaronjg closed 12 years ago

aaronjg commented 12 years ago

If Ruby has access to an R object, that object needs to be protected until all pointers are removed. Thus it should be protected from R garbage collection until the pointer is garbage collected by Ruby.

This bug can cause big problems, particularly when working in "no conversion" mode.
