Subject: event.rb line 434 : problem occurs while repeated creating and deleteing objects

Well...  I have built a tiny canvas program using Ruby/Tk.
Essentially it has many rectangles on the canvas. With mouse 'enter' a
rectangle,
I would show a info about it and when mouse 'leave' the rectangle. The
info would go away.
The info is embeded inside a repeatedly created and destroyed
rectangle.
I got

 /usr/lib/ruby/1.9/tk/event.rb:434: [BUG] Segmentation fault
ruby 1.9.0 (2006-04-21) [i486-linux]

on the 27 tries of 'enter-leave' every single time.

I have also used the 'cheating' method which is generate one single
rectangle
and hide/show by moving the rectangle outside and inside the visiable
canvas.

again.. the same error message (yes, line 4343) but I could always
tries 56 times. :(

Any good idea how to go around this problem?
And since it is a segmentation fault, I guess there is no way to catch
and rescue
it by restarting another process running the same application?

Thank you.
