[PATCH] ruby/dl

ext/dl/ptr.c:26:

static void
rb_dlmem_delete(void *ptr)
{
  rb_secure(4);
  rb_hash_delete(DLMemoryTable, DLLONG2NUM(ptr));
}

Eventually ptr crosses the boundary of fixnum, causing a bignum to be
created.  It appears to be an error to create a non-immediate VALUE
while inside a free() function (memory corruption or segfault).

Here's my attempted fix.  Note that I change the keys of
DLMemoryTable.  From what I could decipher from the Japanese
documentation, it doesn't appear that DLMemoryTable is part of the
API.

There was also a memory leak in dlptr_free().
