I'm in a PC platform, WinXP as Operating System.
Irb crashes mainly when I use the autocompletion (the bigger the number 
of possibilities the worse)or when I'm overriding a method.

It says... (let me crash it now):
"irb(main):003:0* c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/irb/workspace.rb:52: [BUG] 
Segmentation fault
ruby 1.8.2 (2004-12-25) [i386-mswin32]


This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual 
way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information."

I don't know wether it has been reported already, but always that I type 
a variable name, press Enter and then Tab it crashes.

 >> a = 1
 >>a.
<<press tab>>

crash!

But it also crash a lot in day by day work.
