I have an interesting problem.  I have a script that I wish to use to check
a database and then map drives based on who is logging on and the info in
the database.

When I run the script on any of the machines in the computer lab it
segfaults.  When I copy the exact same code that is in the script into an
irb session and run it I don't have any trouble.  I can run the script
proper on my office workstation.

Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

I'm running ruby 1.8.6 on all the machines in question.

Here is the script:

require 'Win32API'
require 'xmlrpc/client'

class User
    def lookup
    user = "0" * 20

    getUserName = Win32API.new("advapi32", "GetUserName", 'P', "V")

    getUserName.call(user)

    return user
    end

    def account_created?(login)
        server = XMLRPC::Client.new2('http://localhost:3003/user/api')

        result = server.call('Check', login)

        if result == 0
          return false
        else
            return true
        end
    end

    def map_drives(login)
        system("net use x: /delete /y")
        system("net use l: /delete /y")
        system("net use x: //cad1/#{login}")
        system("net use l: //cad1/shared")
    end
end

user = User.new

username = user.lookup

if user.account_created?(username)
    user.map_drives(username)
end
