Are you saying that I should rb_protect on rb_gc?  Would that catch the
fault?  That doesn't seem possible - but when it comes to ruby, Alot of
things that are seem impossible :)

This was only an example illustrating a problem I was having on a larger
application.  It was by no means meant to be more than that, but I do
appreciate the warning.
