Running Ruby-1.6.3 and FXRuby-0.99.173, I have been receiving a lot of messages like this: /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/myApps/tableEditor.rb:368: [BUG] Segmentation fault ruby 1.6.3 (2001-03-19) [i586-linux] Aborted The program error is never on the line number outputed. And the fix is always to just insert a blank line somewhere, usually after a recently entered/modified statement. How can inserting a blank line fix a segfault?
