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?
