seg fault using optparse

[Robert McGovern]

Was running the optparse test program with 4 arguments (opttest.rb) under cygwin when it seg faulted. I have included the output of two different cygwin boxes (one at home, one work), both versions of Ruby are HEAD though a couple of days apart. Tried to get a strack trace, but when I recompiled ruby without the CFLAG O2, the problem disappeared.

robertm@PC126 ~/rubysource/sample/optparse
$ ruby opttest.rb 1 2 3
#<Object:0x10109480 @exec=true>
ARGV = 1 2 3

robertm@PC126 ~/rubysource/sample/optparse
$ ruby opttest.rb 1 2 3 4
/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9/optparse.rb:1382: [BUG] Segmentation fault
ruby 1.9.0 (2004-07-06) [i386-cygwin]

Aborted (core dumped)

robertm@PC126 ~/rubysource/sample/optparse
$ ruby opttest.rb 1 2 3 4 5
#<Object:0x10109480 @exec=true>
ARGV = 1 2 3 4 5

On a different Cygwin box it fails with 5 arguments but is fine with 4 and 6

robertm@al ~/ruby/sample/optparse
$ ruby opttest.rb 1 2 3
#<Object:0x10109480 @exec=true>
ARGV = 1 2 3

robertm@al ~/ruby/sample/optparse
$ ruby opttest.rb 1 2 3 4
#<Object:0x10109480 @exec=true>
ARGV = 1 2 3 4

robertm@al ~/ruby/sample/optparse
$ ruby opttest.rb 1 2 3 4 5
/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9/optparse.rb:1382: [BUG] Segmentation fault

$ ruby opttest.rb 1 2 3 4 5 6

ARGV = 1 2 3 4 5 6

Initial backtrace yields nothing useful:

Recompiled ruby without the O2 optimization and tried again

Program exited normally.

Anyone else verify?

Thanks

You'll need also -g3 -ggdb options.
