Summary:                    Segmentation Fault in Garbage Collection for Ruby
1.8.7 prior to Dec 2009
Description: 
A known bug exists in Ruby that causes it crash with segmentation faults
(SIGSEGV, signal 11, etc.) when it allocates objects frequently.

This is causing the Ops Code Chef client to crash on our Solaris 10
systems.

A upstream fix was released.  Could someone rebuild the OpenCSW Ruby from
the latest 1.8.7 sources?

I'm still getting E-mail from cron about chef-client segfaulting with the
Ruby 1.8.7p299 you provided.

I'm not seeing any E-mail from the zones running chef-client on Ruby
1.8.6p399 I built.
