AFAIK, noone.

Sometimes mixing 32bits applications with 64bits environments don't
work out of the box (and sometimes Windows on Windows - WOW64) don't
catch all these things.

If watir is interfacing DLL/APIs from Windows, then is highly likely
there are some changes of implementation or answers from these API
that make Watir/Ruby crash.

I you contact the Watir project [1] and try to include all the
information possible, also the test script you're trying to run.
