Subject: What to do when adding a comment makes your program behave differently???

Hi,

I a have built a program (433 lines) which takes a file as an argument,
processes it and provides its result to STDOUT.

When I add a comment (just a '#' character will do) below the last line
of the program, it works fine.

When I remove the comment it behaves differently, the result is
incorrect but Ruby does not give an error or a warning whatsoever. (I
don't have any rescue statements in my program).

What can I do right now? (Except for switching to another language ;-)

TIA,

Erik.

P.S.: I am willing to send my code, but I expect it will work fine
elsewhere because it is probably a GC/timing related Ruby bug.
