Thanks for your reply...

I think that rapidity has nothing to do with this 
particular occurrence. It is easily reproducible
100% of the time for me... one keystroke will do 
it.

I have never built Ruby on my Windows machine, but
I can try to do it... I should get a newer gcc
first, I think.

Thank you,
