Subject: Ruby hangs during "make check" in CentOS4?

I'm trying to install ruby-1.8.5-p12 on my CentOS4 system.

  % uname -rsvp
  % Linux 2.6.9-022stab078.23-enterprise #1 SMP Thu Oct 19 14:54:39 MSD 2006 i686

I do the following steps with no problem:

  ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-shared
  make

But then, when I do "make check", the test run hangs forever after a few
hundred characters (mostly dots) print out.

When I finally do a Control-C, I get the following stack trace:

  /readline/test_readline.rb:20:in `readline': Interrupt
	from ./readline/test_readline.rb:20:in `test_readline'
	from ./readline/test_readline.rb:72:in `replace_stdio'

	from runner.rb:7
  make: *** [test-all] Error 1

If I'm reading this correctly, it looks like open_uri_original_open is
somehow being called recursively and repeatedly failing.

Is this something I need to be concerned about?

Thanks.
