I have tried two platforms:

 ruby 1.6.3 (2001-03-19) [sparc-solaris2.8]
 gtk: 1.2.7
 SunOS 5.8 Generic_108528-06 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-5_10

and (Debian stable dist.)

 ruby 1.4.3 (1999-12-08) [i386-linux]
 gtk: 1.2.7
 Linux 2.2.19 #1 Sun Apr 8 13:42:11 EST 2001 i586 unknown

Both have bug. Maybe gtk 1.2.7 is broken?

It is a little bit scary that a dynamically loaded extension can
brake the basic language constructs...
