Hi all, I'm getting the same segfault as DD above. My gem environment is as follows

$ gem env

$ gem list libxml-ruby -d

*** LOCAL GEMS ***

libxml-ruby (1.1.4)
    Author: Charlie Savage

    Ruby libxml bindings


The code that causes the crash is as follows (in IRB):

>> require 'xml'
=> true
>> document = LibXML::XML::Document.file('s.txt')
/opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/libxml-ruby-1.1.4/lib/libxml/parser.rb:33: [BUG] Segmentation fault

Abort trap


I hope this helps you find the problem.
