Don't think this is a "date" issue, more a general memory problem (in ruby?).
I added a simple line PUTS "test" at line 648 of
usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/date.rb to check that this was the file at
fault, and when I ran "gem update" again it changed to:

/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/date/format.rb:327: [BUG] Segmentation fault

(I guess format.rb is called when I call PUTS?).

I installed ruby on my system by downloading the ruby 1.8.2 stable
source, and installed (as root) using the usual ./configure; make;
make install, I'm guessing that's right?
