Or to give a different point of view: the problem is the fundamentally 
flawed design of ruby 1.9, which means that:

(1) The same program, running on the same version of ruby and the same 
operating system, will work fine on one system but crash on another.

(2) It is so complex that it is virtually impossible to build complete 
test coverage to prevent this sort of problem happening.

Fortunately, there is an easy solution: use ruby 1.8.
