Armitage is a client that connects to a Metasploit Framework RPC server. 
Writing a bug report to me, the developer of the client, about an issue in the 
ruby process is like writing an email to the Firefox developer's about an nginx 
bug. I don't control anything with *ruby* in it.

That said, I have seen this issue before when running Metasploit Framework in a 
Linux VM sitting on top of a XEN hypervisor. This seems to be an issue caused 
when not enough "CPU units" are allocated to the instance. 

For example, if I stage a team server using Amazon's EC2 micro instance, I'll 
see this happen. Nearly every time.

But, if I get a high CPU medium instance on EC2, I never see this happen. 

I've seen this happen on 64-bit VMs in the past too. Now that my dependencies 
are up to date, I haven't seen this and attributed it to a 64-bit VM in ~6 
months. Maddeningly, msfupdate and apt do not update the dependencies in the 
Metasploit Framework. The best way to update your dependencies is to reinstall 
the framework or register for a key from Rapid7 and use their community edition 
interface to update everything.

I believe MSF 4.3 was a big refresh of the dependencies.

1) Uninstall your Metasploit Framework environment
cd /opt/metasploit
./uninstall

2) Reinstall with MSF 4.4 using the instructions at:
http://www.fastandeasyhacking.com/manual

I haven't updated the docs for 4.4 yet, but the steps are still the same.
