I would not reroll until the ruby binding segfault has been fixed.

Joe included his analysis of what's causing the failure, as well as a patch that fixes it
here: http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2009-12/0529.shtml
Although it may fix the symptom, I'm not sure what the problem is, and haven't yet looked

Perhaps more eyes would be useful.
