Well, after small investigation and chat with Sinatra folks I can confirm
that this is not Rack/Sinatra relevant bug, but Ruby 1.8.6 bug.

After I tried this gem with Ruby 1.8.7 installed through 'rvm', this
exception dissapears and all stuff is working normally now.

I hope we will have Ruby 1.8.7 soon ;-)
