It's too new.  So it must be unknown problem.

  f_object = false
  p f_object == 'false' # => false

  def f_object.==(other)
          self.to_s == other.to_s
  end
  p f_object == 'false' # => true

Works fine on ruby 1.6.6 (2001-12-26) [i386-linux]
Could you show me exact program to crash the interpreter?

It's not a great idea, because it alters the global behavior.
You must be responsible.
