Issue #1295 has been updated by Diego Suárez García. I downloaded the stable release from ruby lang. Nothing special, untar the tar.gz, configure, make, make install. All was working fine, even that script, but after the weekend I found a lot of error logs in the cronjob. I tried to run the script manually, I tried to run other scripts, even a ruby -e "puts 'hi'", and no luck, always that error. The error was gone after reinstalling, but today I examined the logs and it's back. This time I've seen another extra error, here they go both: =========== ^V: compile/should not be reached: compile.c:475 *** glibc detected *** corrupted double-linked list: 0x09bd7e38 *** Abort =========== And the other one: =========== /usr/bin/ruby: [BUG] Segmentation fault ruby 1.9.1p0 (2009-01-30 revision 21907) [i686-linux] -- control frame ---------- c:0002 p:-40009030 s:0004 b:0004 l:000003 d:000003 TOP c:0001 p:0000 s:0002 b:0002 l:0024bc d:0024bc TOP <main>:17 --------------------------- -- Ruby level backtrace information----------------------------------------- -- C level backtrace information ------------------------------------------- 0x8104657 /usr/bin/ruby(rb_vm_bugreport+0x2b) [0x8104657] [NOTE] You may encounter a bug of Ruby interpreter.
