i tried setting up the captcha validation plugin but anytime i go to a  
page that has the image on it, the web server completely shuts down  
and i get this:

./script/…/config/…/vendor/plugins/validates\_captcha/lib/  
captcha\_image\_challenge.rb:93: [BUG] Bus Error  
ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24) [i686-darwin8.8.2]

Abort trap

i don’t see anything in the log files so i’m not sure where to start  
with this one. i’m developing on an intel macbook pro, and have  
imagemagick 6.3.0 if that helps…

thanks in advance,  
josh
