Testing this wouldn't be that hard if you use RubyInstaller recipes and build infrastructure.

https://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller/

You only need a previous version of Ruby installed and Git to clone RubyInstaller recipes.

You can checkout/clone ruby source code and use LOCAL.

Some similar instructions are here:

Expected `test > out' to behave like `ruby test.rb > out'.

Bug occurs with both 1.9.3 (RubyInstaller) and 1.9.2 (Binary); 1.8.7 (RubyInstaller) behaves as expected. Tested on Windows XP Version 2002 Service Pack 3; originally reported on Windows 7.
