Bug #9823: Segmentation fault using DL
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/9823#change-46658

* Author: Christopher Hunt
* Status: Feedback
* Priority: Normal
* Assignee: Aaron Patterson
* Category: ext
* Target version: 
* ruby -v: ruby 1.9.3p545 (2014-02-24) [i386-mingw32]
* Backport: 2.0.0: UNKNOWN, 2.1: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
I receive a segmentation fault when calling OpenProcessToken from DL, demonstrated by running the attached 'runner.rb' file with the additional files in the same directory. This is a simplified representation, but perhaps not minimal, though with good reason. Doing any one of the following prevents a segmentation fault:
Copying line 3 from runner.rb to the bottom of mwe.rb and running mwe.rb directly.
Commenting out line 5 of mwe.rb or commenting out some large subset of errors.rb (e.g. commenting out lines 37 through 99 result in no segfault).
Commenting out line 3 of runner.rb, in effect only requiring the other files and exiting.
Commenting out a combination of the following from within Pageant::Win results in no segfault:
- Calls to extern
- Calls to struct
- Constants
- Class methods

In the last case it is not necessary to comment out all of the items of a particular category. For instance, a segfault is avoided if I comment out TOKEN_USER and SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES. I may also prevent a segfault by commenting out TOKEN_USER and the extern statement associated with IsValidSecurityDescriptor.

I have also tried this in the latest (ruby 2.1.2p95 (2014-05-08 revision 45867) [i386-mingw32]) with similar results. I've attached the error output for each of 1.9.3 and 2.1.2.
