Hi,
We're using acts_as_ferret from trunk and my searches crash while in production mode. We hunted it down and discovered that the problem is with acts_as_ferret remote index and STI models.
When the call to acts_as_ferret is processed in the base class, it is registered to the index, and then is available in the ferret server process as a valid Ruby class. When we try to use the subclass, however, it is not registered with the index (since acts_as_ferret is in the base class). The remote index call crashes like this:
NoMethodError: undefined method `[]' for #<DRb::DRbUnknown:0xb768f9cc>

You'll find attached a small sample rails application with acts_as_ferret installed that shows the problem in its unit tests. To run these tests, first start the server:
./script/ferret_server -e test start
then run the unit tests:
rake test:units
