Subject: Re: ruby segfaults with rails app

The Gentoo guys have given up.  Apparently this is a ruby problem or 
something to do with my setup.

Here's my test case:

$ rails testing
$ cd testing
$ ruby ./script/server
# webrick starts
$ wget http://localhost:3000/test
# ERROR 404: Not Found.
$ wget http://localhost:3000/test
# ERROR 404: Not Found.
$ wget http://localhost:3000/test
# ERROR 500: Internal Server Error.
$ wget http://localhost:3000/test
# No data received.
# At this point, webrick has segfaulted.

This is perfectly reproducible.

Here's the new ruby bug report:
