Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ruby x86_64 1.8.5.113-1.fc6 ruby-devel x86_64 1.8.5.113-1.fc6 ruby-devel i386 1.8.5.113-1.fc6 ruby-irb x86_64 1.8.5.113-1.fc6 ruby-libs i386 1.8.5.113-1.fc6 ruby-libs x86_64 1.8.5.113-1.fc6 ruby-rdoc x86_64 1.8.5.113-1.fc6 How reproducible: Don't know exactly what action in the code triggers the problem. I dont see the relation between the trace output and the error from the projecttime#list method.
This has broken ruby and many Rails installations! How can it be medium / low?
Can someone confirm if this happens on ruby 1.8.6.x or not?
I don't have an FC7 installation, but can confirm that compiling ruby 1.8.6 fixes the problem.
