Subject: ruby-1.8.0.p3 segfault

Hi there,

I am evaluting the latest preview, and i get the following errro:

.../navel/web/srv/request.rb:339: [BUG] obj_free() called for broken object
ruby 1.8.0 (2003-06-23) [i686-linux]

here is the relevant code:

def read_line(io, sep=LF, to = $srv_request_timeout)
begin
			timeout(to) do
				# drak: trying to resolve a segfault, will return nil if io.nil?
				# return (io.nil? ? nil : io.gets(sep))
				if io
					return io.gets(sep)
				else
					return ""
				end
			end
		rescue TimeoutError
			raise HttpRequestTimeout
		rescue Exception, StandardError => e
			$log.debug e
			# gmosx: if the nil is not returned it returns File (from the log),
			# and may produce an error.
			return nil
		end
	end
