tumblr backup fails

[wylieconlon]

I was running tumblr backup, after installing it via homebrew per your instructions and found this error. It successfully backed up 340 posts before this:

This is a bug from deep within a lib dependency. Can you replicate it when you run the script again?

[wylieconlon]

Yes, I replicate it every time running ruby 1.8.7 (default with my computer). Using ruby 1.9.3 seems to fix the problem. Seeing that, I'm not sure that this is a real bug.

@wylieconlon I think it's a much larger issue with asynchronous behavior in Tumblr's http client library, Weary.
