That's odd. It looks like you're still using the 0.4.2 gem. Do a "gem
clean win32-process" and try again. Also, make sure you don't have it
installed manually somewhere else. You can validate by printing out
the Process::WIN32_PROCESS_VERSION constant.

If it still doesn't work go ahead and try upgrading to 1.8.5.
