Subject: FXScintilla Bug?

I've been playing with the new FXScintilla widget in FXRuby 1.0.10, and I
think I've found a bug. I can't find a way to reproduce it in a short chunk
of code, but its to do with the line
	@scintilla.getText(@scintilla.getTextLength)

If I pass the result of that call to another object (my controller object,
in this case), I segfault with a "Cannot access memory at location" type
windows error.

The workaround I'm using is
	@scintilla.getText(@scintilla.getTextLength).dup

The fact that this works might mean something to someone more wise than
myself. My environment is Win2k Pro, ruby 1.6.7 (2002-03-01) [i586-mswin32],
FXRuby 1.0.10
