Strange one. I'm not seeing this on my computer at work. I'm
running the windows installer version from RubyForge (latest one). It
looks like the following line from builder.rb is causing Ruby to
segfault on your computer

data = [Zlib:eflate.deflate(File.open(entry['path'], "rb") {|f|
f.read})].pack("m")

Can you try this from the shell in windows to see if it also segfaults?

ruby -rzlib -e 'p Zlib:eflate.deflate("Blah")'
