Subject: Segmentation fault on gets

I'm trying to do simple keyboard input:

a = ""
a = gets
puts a

I'm running Ruby 1.6.7, under Win 98 SE.

When I type the first letter, I receive the message

[bug] Segmentation Fault.

I've removed Ruby and reinstalled it several times, with consistent
failures.

1. What do I need to do?

2. There MUST be a better way. What is it?
