Subject: Re: Segfault in timer.rb

I am seeing this on 2 different machines with fresh install. Compiling 
Ruby with

-ggdb -g3 -O0

prints something more useful but still fails all over.

/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/timeout.rb:40: [BUG] rb_gc_mark() called for 
broken object
ruby 1.8.2 (2005-01-10) [i386-cygwin]

zsh: 13060 abort (core dumped)  ruby scrape_server.rb
-------
/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/rexml/text.rb:295: [BUG] Segmentation fault

zsh: 22780 abort (core dumped)  ruby scrape_server.rb

zsh: 5032 abort (core dumped)  ruby -d scrape_server.rb

Very frustrated
