Hi there,

In bundled samples\scintilla.rb, paste a long one-line text (see below)  
caused segmentation fault

scintilla.rb:166: [BUG] Segmentation fault  
ruby 1.8.7 (2010-01-10 patchlevel 249) [i386-mingw32]

However, It was Ok if not including last 100 or so characters (worked on  
13100 characters).

Cheers,  
Zhimin
