Subject: Re: seg fault when building ruby 1.8.6-p111 on MacOS X 10.5

Interestingly, I'm getting the same problem when building ruby 1.8.6- 
p110 and ruby 1.8.6-p36... the latter being the same version that is  
include in the shipping OS!

I've found many references to this issue, but never any explanation  
for what causes it, let alone a solution to fixing it.
