 Here's my result:

 Mmm, this may not be informative ;(
 
 BTW, I found that tDiary (http://www.tdiary.org) doesn't work with `no
 native pthread'
 version of ruby.  I tested with both version 2.0.2 and 2.1.4.
 Contrary to the bsfilter,
 `native pthread' version of ruby works well for both versions.
 
 I'll file this as another PR later.
