[BUG] ruby_script ?

Hi list,

That's my first post on this list, so please be patient with me. :-)

The code below leads me on a SEGV in tcltklib.so

$ cat test.c
#include <ruby.h>

int main()
{
 ruby_init();
 ruby_script("test");
 ruby_init_loadpath();
 rb_eval_string("require 'tk'");
 return 0;
}
$ gcc -o test test.c -L/opt/ruby-1.8.4/lib -lruby
-I/opt/ruby-1.8.4/lib/ruby/1.8/i686-linux
$ ./test
/opt/ruby-1.8.4/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/i686-linux/tcltklib.so: [BUG]
Segmentation fault
ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24) [i686-linux]

zsh: abort      ./test
$

After debugging it, I figure out that the bug comes from the fact
rb_argv0 was not initialized (the SEGV happens on line 7932 of the
file tcltklib.c). Then, I fixed my progam this way:

> $ cat test.c
> #include <ruby.h>
>

EXTERN VALUE rb_progname;
EXTERN VALUE rb_argv0;

> int main()
> {
>   ruby_init();
>   ruby_script("test");

 rb_argv0 = rb_progname;

>   ruby_init_loadpath();
>   rb_eval_string("require 'tk'");
>   return 0;
> }

I noticed that using ruby_options also solves the problem since
ruby_process_options does a "rb_argv0 = rb_progname" right after
ruby_script, as I do in my code. Using ruby_options leads my program
to sleep since ruby_options reads stdin which I don't want. Thus, I'm
wondering whether ruby_script should always initialized rb_argv0 to
avoid such issue.

Best regards,
