From: Hendrik Volkmer Date: 2010-02-10T00:09:45+09:00 Subject: [ruby-core:28127] [Backport #2597] Crash in p248 while installing gem Issue #2597 has been updated by Hendrik Volkmer. I can also confirm this in p249. It doesn't occur if I use this: require 'rubygems' require 'activesupport' ActiveSupport::Multibyte::UnicodeDatabase.new.codepoints However if I require the file directly the error occurs: require '/opt/gems/activesupport-2.3.3/lib/active_support/multibyte/unicode_database.rb' ActiveSupport::Multibyte::UnicodeDatabase.new.codepoints This is just to reproduce the bug. It occures in a test run where it suddenly kills the rails server (mongrel). I get this behaviour in the latest official 1.8.7 p243 as well the latest trunk (p249). p174 is fine. ---------------------------------------- http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/2597 ---------------------------------------- http://redmine.ruby-lang.org
