Hi guys. Igal invited me to join this discussion.

We at Phusion have just released Ruby Enterprise Edition (pardon the 
name ;-) 1.8.6-20080623, which is based on Ruby 1.8.6-p111, and includes 
the relevant security patches backported. Details here:

The relevant patch is available at: http://tinyurl.com/5b493c
It's based on the FreeBSD patch set. Thanks FreeBSD. :)
