Hi,
   I am running RSSScraper and get segfault on both 1.8.2 and 1.9.1
built from CVS under cygwin

% ruby scrape_server.rb

ruby 1.8.2 (2005-01-09) [i386-cygwin]

zsh: 2012 abort (core dumped)  ruby scrape_server.rb

This problem does not happen  if I run scraper_server using

% /cygdrive/c/ruby/bin/ruby.exe -v
ruby 1.8.2 (2004-12-25) [i386-mswin32]

One other difference I've noted is that the Log output above does not
get displayed when running under i386-mswin32 version.

Help?
