=begin
Qt4-qtruby-2.0.3
ActiveResource 2.3.2

After the third request to the server via active resource I get

|/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rexml/parent.rb:39: [BUG] Segmentation fault
|ruby 1.8.7 (2009-08-04 patchlevel 194) [i486-linux]
|
|./run: line 11: 22362 Aborted ruby init.rb

Sometimes there is another place the exception occures
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rexml/text.rb:313: [BUG] Segmentation fault
or
./xmlsimple.rb:932: [BUG] Segmentation fault
This file is just the local copy of /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.2.2/lib/active_support/vendor/xml-simple-1.0.11/xmlsimple.rb

Attached are:

1. stderr for -y switch for ruby.
2. Content received from the server.

Some additional places for segfault

/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/Qt/qtruby4.rb:3059: qt_methods(_constants, 0x10, true)
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rexml/parsers/baseparser.rb:358: attributes = {}

It seems the file #1 can not be uploaded.

=begin

1. my project under ruby-1.8.6_p111 works fine

2. my project under ruby-1.8.7_p72 works find either

3. ruby-1.8.6_p114 fails under libsafe, while p111 works fine

   Conclusion: most probably, the bug appears somewhere in between 111 and 114 patchlevels of 1.8.6.

P.S. It would be nice if ruby will work under libsafe again.

=begin
Seems this issue has been left unattended for a while.
Would you try again with the latest revisions of branches/ruby_1_8_7 and branches/ruby_1_8?

Closing this, there has been no feedback and Ruby 1.8.7 went EOL over three years ago.
