-------------------------------------------
C:\temp\gem\rubygems-0.4.0>ruby -rzlib -e 'p Zlib::Deflate.deflate("Blah")'
-e:1: [BUG] Segmentation fault
ruby 1.8.2 (2004-05-19) [i386-mswin32]

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual

Please contact the application's support team for more information.
