From: Lucas Nussbaum Date: 2009-03-05T20:36:55+09:00 Subject: [ruby-core:22680] [Bug #1172] [sparc] *** glibc detected *** ruby1.9: free(): invalid pointer: 0xf7ef6a54 *** Issue #1172 has been updated by Lucas Nussbaum. I'm not confortable with providing a core dump publicly, as it will leak information about the system I was using. I could send it to you via private mail, though. What's your email? Regarding continuation in 1.9.1, it's there by default AFAIK. I didn't do anything special to get it compiled. I ran into the failure during the test suite (that is executed at the end of the Debian packages build), and then reduced it to the test case I described in the bug report. See http://experimental.debian.net/fetch.php?&pkg=ruby1.9&ver=1.9.1.0-1&arch=sparc&stamp=1235333763&file=log&as=raw And in particular: TestArray#test_rindex: 0.00 s: . TestArray#test_rindex2: 0.00 s: .
