Hello,

This seems to be a powerpc bug.  Here is a more simple example:

   continuation = []
   at_exit{
     puts 'at_exit'
     continuation[0].call unless continuation[0].nil?
   }
   callcc{ |c|
     continuation[0] = c
   }
   puts 'running'

This code runs in the expected continuous loop on linux.  On my mac 
(10.2) I get the error:

   [~/programming/narf] patsplat% ruby bug.rb
   running
   at_exit
   running
   bug.rb:9: compile error (SyntaxError)
   bug.rb:9: [BUG] Bus Error
   ruby 1.8.1 (2003-12-25) [powerpc-darwin]

   Abort
   [~/programming/narf] patsplat%

Does this happen on any other platform?  Is this an OS X limitation?

Cheers,

Patrick
