So "Split this text" is the string you're scanning?
Seems like the program is in a loop, rather than crashed.
Would you please copy and paste the entire exact content
of test.rb into a Usenet article in between two lines
of dashes ("-------------")?
Even better would be to zip it and put it on a website.
Maybe you have some weird characters in the file.
