Subject: [BUG] Frequent Segfault with stable snapshot 2004-08-23

Since upgrading from a stable snapshot dated 2004-05-26 to a recent one dated
2004-08-23, I am getting regular segfaults from a ruby script which has worked
flawlessly for ages.

The output looks like this:

  /home/andrew/rubyx/lib/ruby/site_ruby/rubyx/strfile.rb:54: [BUG] Segmentation fault
  ruby 1.8.2 (2004-08-22) [i686-linux]

  Aborted


The relevant portion of code is this ls() function added to the String object.
The offending line 54 is indicated with *

  class String
    def ls()
      fa=Dir.glob(self+"/{.,}?*")
*     fa.delete(self+"/..")
      return fa
    end
  end

Anything relevant changed recently?
