Chuck,

Nevermind, just tried building master this morning and after manually
applying

  https://github.com/rubinius/rubinius/pull/1108

my MRI 1.9.3 build ruby get's segfaulted in `melbourne.rb` via native
`:file_to_ast_19` it seems

  https://gist.github.com/1222357

Will try another time with 1.8.7 and swing over to #rubinius to see if
there's any adventurous souls.

If you've got any interest, how about setting up a Win7 VirtualBox guest
on your (OSX?) system, build via a name-prefix stripped mingw-w64 DevKit
like

and see how far you get.
