Subject: Backticks failing in Ruby built with VC++ 8

Hi all,

Ruby 1.8.5 p12
Windows XP SP2

I'm getting a segfault when I use the backtick operator in a Ruby built 
with VC++ 8:

pwd = `pwd`.chomp

It works fine with the one click (VC++ 6).

Is anyone else seeing this behavior? I want to make sure I haven't done 
something silly before officially filing this as a bug report.  If it is 
a bug, I'm guessing I need to examine the CreateChild function in Ruby's 
win32.c file. Please point me to the appropriate location if that's not 
correct.

Thanks,

Dan
