Hello Andrew,

What optmization level you are using when compiling ruby? If it is O3, then
this patch might help?

Fri Jan  7 18:03:35 2005  Tanaka Akira  <akr@m17n.org>

        * gc.c (mark_locations_array): avoid core dump with -O3.
          [ruby-dev:25424]


Also I think that we should study the information from
http://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1243&group_id=426&atid=1698

there might be subtle 64 bit problems that are hidden because we do not see
all compiler warnings...
