[rrd-users] Ruby bindings sticky error with xport

[Troex Nevelin]

I've checked the latest trunk code, and no changes to
bindings/ruby/main.c has been made from at least 1.4.3 release.

I made a patch that fixes my problem
http://trash.mrtech.ru/~junkyard/tmp/rrdtool-ruby-xport-reset-state.patch

The similar bug was fixed for rb_rrd_infocall before:
