[BUG] unknown node type 0 in 1.8.0

From: Thomas Uehlinger <uehli@...>

List: ruby-talk #63237
Hi,

I think I discovered a bug in Ruby 1.8.0:

>>uehli@ueh-h bug2 $ ruby -v
ruby 1.8.0 (2003-01-27) [i686-linux]

>>uehli@ueh-h bug2 $ ruby extconf.rb
[BUG] unknown node type 0
ruby 1.8.0 (2003-01-27) [i686-linux]
Aborted

The executed script is the (slightly modified) extconf.rb of the Ruby OpenGL 
extension. I tried to narrow down the bug but as soon as I comment a single 
line of the source out the bug seems to disappear.

So here is the script (sorry for the length!):

extconf.rb

Note that there must be EXACTLY 2 empty lines at the end (as above), else the

I could reproduce the bug on two Linux boxes and it's not the first time I ran 
into that bug but I could not get hold of that nasty thing before.

Thanks for your help.
