IRB segfaults on latest one click installer

[gabriele renzi]

Hi gurus and nubys,

Actually I don't have a clue on why this happens, but it seem it is
related to readline.

The segfaults happens whith an input like:
Something::SomethingElse.foo
when written like this:
Somet<tab>::Something<tab>.fo<tab><enter>

example (obviously you won't see the tabs but they're there

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual
way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

when written like this:
Somet<tab>::Something<tab>.fo<tab><enter>

I get this too. In fact if I just type "String::" and press TAB twice,
irb segfaults.

There is an open bug report on this:

I'm not sure if there'll be anything I can do about this, unless/until there
is an updated version of readline that I can try.

There is an open bug report on this:

yes, I reported it there cause I had no feedback here. Is sad to hear
that you don't know how to fix it, but is good to see that you would do
something if you could. I hope I could do it myself..
Thank you, anyway.

Ruby-talk is definitely the best place to report this. It was only because
of some observant ruby-talk readers that I was able to obtain a working
version of readline for windows.

Perhaps there are some other people reading this who have the expertise and
ability to find & fix this problem. If so, please let me know.
