This is by design ruby_run() does not return.  I imagine what you want to do is 
execute your script via rb_protect().   You could take a look at 
http://metaeditor.sourceforge.net/embed/ althought it is embedding ruby in C++
much of what it talks about works for C.  

How vim embedds ruby is good code to read too.  Download the vim source
code and look at if_ruby.c

enjoy,
