I am having the same issue, although with MySQL version 5.0.45.
The steps I followed were as followed:
1) Download "mysql-5.0.45-win32.zip" from the MySQL community server 5.0 
downloads page
2) Extract and run the contained "Setup.exe"
3) Perform installation of MySQL 5.0.45
4) Install mysql 2.7.3 win32 using "gem install mysql"
5) Run "irb" and try "require 'mysql'"

Each time I get:
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/i386-msvcrt/mysql.so: [BUG] Segmentation 
fault
ruby 1.8.6 (2007-03-13) [i386-mswin32]

I was wondering which specific version of MySQL 5.0 you used and whether 
you installed any other software to help get this to work.

I have tried trawling through Google but the answers to 
Windows/MySQL/Ruby seem to be scattered and many are for older versions 
of Ruby.

Thanks,
Danny
