Sorry to hear that.

Can't provide a binary for a non-released version. That is RubyInstaller policy to avoid confusion with stable releases.

Most likely the patches will be against Ruby C sourcecode, so is pointless you can't build yourself.

If you can't try against the trunk codebase then there is no way for us to reproduce this issue.

I believe issues associated with directory globing are already fixed in trunk and backported to 1.9.2 branch.

Instructions on how to do that are in RubyInstaller codebase.
