Subject: segfault when calling rb_eval_string_protect with a non-null state pointer

Hi All,

I'm beginning to work on a ruby module for aolserver, and I have the
following basic issue.

If I call:

rb_eval_string_protect(string, NULL);

Well, it does nothing yet, but it is presumably executing the ruby and
carrying on (not capturing output yet).

If I call it like:

int rb_state = 0;
rb_eval_string_protect(string, &rb_state);

My binary dies a segfault.

Before I dig out gdb, I was wondering if there was a likely simple cause.

Cheers,

Mark.
