[ruby-core:23950] [Bug #1668] Error installing ruby gems for 1.9.1 on windows vista

Bug #1668: Error installing ruby gems for 1.9.1 on windows vista
http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/1668

Author: Kristian Mandrup
Status: Open, Priority: Normal
Category: core
ruby -v: 1.9.1-p0

I followed the guides at:
http://akitaonrails.com/2009/01/13/the-best-environment-for-rails-on-windows
http://alwaysthecritic.typepad.com/atc/2009/03/install-ruby-191-on-windows.html

Then when trying to install any gem.

My ruby/bin contains the following dlls:
libeay32
msvcrt-ruby191
ssleay32
zlib1

I have a previous ruby 1.8.6 installation, using the one-click installer, but have removed it from my PATH.

I have set the following environment variables:
Ruby_home = C:\Development\ruby-1.9.1
PATH = ...;%Ruby_home%\bin;%Ruby_home%\lib
---

C:\Users\kristian>gem install rails ruby-debug
C:/Development/ruby-1.9.1/lib/ruby/1.9.1/rubygems.rb:405: [BUG] Segmentation fault
ruby 1.9.1p0 (2009-01-30 revision 21907) [i386-mswin32]
