I guess that these patches are corresponding to r48018 in trunk.
However, they contain not only the fix of the SEGV but also many new features, aren't they?

Unless there is a very compelling reason, it is not possible to add new features to the branch in the maintenance phase.
Could you make the patches contain only the fix of the SEGV?

(It should be noted that the ordinal maintenance phase of `ruby_1_9_3` branch has been already ended, then ordinal bug fixes will not be backported, only security issues will be.)

Using ruby 1.9.3p392 and Tk 8.6.0 on 64-bit Arch Linux, attempting to "require 'tk'" causes a segfault.

To reproduce:
    ruby -e "require 'tk'"

The crash log is in the attached file.

Notes:
- I've heard from a Gentoo user who is having the same problem.
- On 32-bit Arch Linux, there is no problem.
