Subject: trouble with ruby_options() on win32 and ruby 1.8.2

I'm trying to embed ruby into a win32 application; however, when 
calling the ruby_options() method my process simply hangs.  I am trying 
to use ruby_options() to pass the -C argument to ruby to set the 
current directory.  My code looks like this:

UINT launchRuby()
{
	char *argv[3] =
	{
		"ruby",
		"-C..\\Release",
		"test.rb"
	}

	ruby_init();
	ruby_options(3, argv);
	ruby_run();
}

My program compiles and links properly; however, when I run it it just 
hangs right after the ruby_options() call (I've integrated some 
diagnostic code to determine this).  This same technique worked fine on 
OSX, so I'm wondering if there is some issue with the Windows platform.
