Seems running with scripts according to your backtrace.
I can't reproduce it on i686-linux and x86_64-linux without
parameters.

• File backtrace backtrace added

=begin
I'm uploading a new backtrace that is running straight from the command line.

I am using rvm. For the backtrace I've provided, I've unset all environment variables that mention rvm (including IRBRC) except PATH. I've appended my environment variables at the end of the backtrace.

• File ruby_envspace.patch ruby_envspace.patch added

=begin
This bug manifests itself on Fedora 12, x64 architecture. The root cause is the environment space not being contiguous.

Attached is a patch that corrects this issue. Chances are good the same root cause can also affect Ruby 1.9.2-head.
