More BUS errors

/Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.1.2/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:365: [BUG] Bus Error

Can you please be a little bit more specific? What were you doing that produced this output? Any more detailed information would be very helpful in debugging this issue.

In the case of both errors, the code being tested used these libraries as dependencies. The bus errors would always occur on the same lines in each of two respective external libraries (not at the same time obviously). Changes as simple as adding a space to any file actually being tested would make the error go away for awhile, but then it would come back. Nearly impossible to determine what actually triggered the error in the first place.

My apologies for not being specific enough. What I am looking for is what version of ruby you are running, if it is packaged on your OS or if you compiled it from source, what OS you are running, and what architecture you are on. This helps debugging tremendously! Are you using a packaged version of gcc or an alternative? Another thing that will help is to take a look at your code. Is it open source code? If not can you provide a sample app that contains the same errors?

Default Ruby installation for Leopard.

$ ruby --version
ruby 1.8.6 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 287) [universal-darwin9.0]
$ gcc --version
i686-apple-darwin9-gcc-4.0.1 (GCC) 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5490)

Unfortunately, the code in question is not open source, and it's nearly impossible to duplicate. Believe me, I've tried.

I would love to help, but without some examples I think we are stuck. I am going to close the issue for now. Hopefully we can get some sample offending code to prove this bug out.
