Jim,

Did you build this yourself?

If this is a problem with the stock install, I'd submit it to RedHat. 
 That's why you are paying for RHEL licenses...  (But honestly I don't
remember Ruby being in RHEL3, so I guess not?)

Also Opteron x86 emulation is spot-on (especially compared with
EM64T), so if you can't find a way out, there is no shame in not using
x86_64 instructions...
