problem installing gems on ubuntu amd64

[Christoph Sturm]

hey ruby people!

i am trying to install rubygems on ubuntu64 warty on amd64. i have all
ruby packages installed, and it fails with a segfault.

this is the end of the log:
...

As of RubyGems 0.8.0, library stubs are no longer needed.
Searching $LOAD_PATH for stubs to optionally delete (may take a while)...
...done.
No library stubs found.

/usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/package.rb:150: [BUG] Segmentation fault
ruby 1.8.2 (2004-08-24) [x86_64-linux]

Aborted

does anyone have an idea what the problem could be?

thanks
chris

Weird one. It looks like the problem comes up during an unpack() as
part of the tar code. Could you give Austin Ziegler/Mauricio
Fernandez's minitar library a try? I'd be interested to see if it
also causes a segfault.

Thanks!

Any ruby-core types feel like weighing in on troubleshooting
techniques for this segfault?
