You can use gdb to get a stack trace, as was documented by Mauricio,
Jamis, and Why a while back.

Not sure what this has to do with rspec, though.

Newb,
I assume you are working in VisualStudio … Is it possible to recompile
all of Ruby in this environment? Or is it possible ot recompile your
extension in MingW?

Sorry to the rest of the group … This thread should be moved to the
Ruby list.
