I'm not aware of a way to fix it.  I just meant I didn't do anything 
unusual in my build.

On that topic though, I had considered a win32 build (as per 
instructions) to be the most common way to get a recent Ruby on Windows, 
but perhaps I'm way off.  It would be interesting to know whether most 
folks use cygwin, or one of the packaged installers, or something else.

Also, knowing the common "gotchas" when moving between OSes would be 
really helpful (there seem to be a few).  Perhaps this is already 
documented somewhere?
