Hi Mariano,
Interestingly, the program you've sent around works for me on my G4
Powerbook using Ruby 1.8.4 built using Fink (same stack size you quoted
as well) - however I see the same problems you've described when
running the script under Linux (Debian testing, Ruby 1.8.4) and on my
Intel iMac at home (same environment & compiler as the G4, just
different architecture).
Looks like it's a cross platform problem. Anyone have any ideas what
might be wrong or what other info we could send in to help diagnose it
with?
Cheers,
Marcus
