I am trying to display the contents of large array (over 1000 rows)  
using arrayName.collect {|x| puts x.inspect}  
However the following occurs:

[Bug] Segmentation fault  
ruby 1.8.5 (20006-08-25) [i386-mswin32]

The same statement works fine with smaller size arrays.

ruby --version  
ruby 1.8.5 (2006-08-25) [i386-cygwin]

c = 0  
ary = []  
1500.times do  
ary \<\< (c…(c+10)).to\_a  
c += 1  
end

ary.collect {|x| puts x.inspect}

This seems to work just fine. Could you please post some sample code  
that prodcues the segmentation fault?

Blessings,  
TwP

This kind of bug is often too difficult to track without error  
reproducing code.
