The *real* program is VDR (http://www.cadsoft.de/vdr/) and I want to embed ruby 
in a plugin for VDR - this would be too hard to debug. But the small sample 
application I posted is enough to reproduce the problem. It works very well with 
1.6.8, but not with 1.8.1 or 1.8.2.

Running Ruby scripts from within my application is no problem at all. But as 
soon as the GC is triggered (with rb_gc() or automatically when the application 
shuts down), I get a segfault.

Maybe it's a kernel problem? I've tested it only on 2.2.20 and 2.4.24.

I will try to revert some of the changes from 1.6.8 to 1.8.2 this evening, maybe 
I can track the problem down this way, unless someone has a better idea?
