Bug #9497: segv with installing gems

I'm getting a segv with trunk Ruby. To reproduce it do ruby -d -I lib -S gem install minitst -V. It seems to only happen when I give the -d flag.

I pasted the error I see here:

I forgot to mention that this is in a checkout of the rubygems code. Here is the full reproduction steps:

$ git clone https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems.git
$ cd rubygems
$ ruby -d -I lib -S gem install minitst -V

I'm still trying to reduce the complexity of the example. :(

I cannot reproduce the problem on r44870 (x86_64-linux)

It seems to only happen when I give the -d flag.

Can you reproduce the segv with GC disabled?

[tenderlovemaking (Aaron Patterson)]

Yes, it seems to still break with GC disabled. I'll rebuild with -g and see if I can get a backtrace.

• Status changed from Open to Rejected

I think this is my fault. Removing my installation and re-installing seemed to fix the problem.
