*** Please type your report below this line ***

ruby1.9.2 segfaults running sisu (with a number of sisu options), that do not
occur with ruby1.8.7, ruby1.9.0 or ruby1.9.1 (which I had to install separately
to verify). This is not just the case with the current version of sisu but with
previous versions as well. (it is possible that sisu needs some re-coding to be
ruby1.9.2 compliant, but more graceful bug handling from ruby is expected)

for example, using the markup-sample
free_as_in_freedom.richard_stallman_crusade_for_free_software.sam_williams.sst
provided in the package data/doc/sisu/v2/markup-samples/samples installed to
/usr/share/doc/sisu/v2/markup-samples/samples/

* these work in ruby1.8.7, ruby1.9.0 and ruby1.9.1 but segfault in ruby1.9.2
  [BUG] Segmentation fault

  first change directory to the directory in which the sample is located, then
  using the version of sisu in testing or sid, type

sisu --html \
free_as_in_freedom.richard_stallman_crusade_for_free_software.sam_williams.sst

any combination using the --verbose option fails

sisu --txt --verbose \
free_as_in_freedom.richard_stallman_crusade_for_free_software.sam_williams.sst

likewise

sisu -N \
free_as_in_freedom.richard_stallman_crusade_for_free_software.sam_williams.sst

There are likely others.

# the following sisu options work (in all four: ruby1.8.7, ruby1.9.1 and
# ruby1.9.2) (without the --verbose option):
# 
# sisu -wepotbxXy \
# free_as_in_freedom.richard_stallman_crusade_for_free_software.sam_williams.sst
# 
# sisu --txt --epub --pdf --odt --concordance --xhtml --xml-sax --xml-dom \
# --manifest \
# free_as_in_freedom.richard_stallman_crusade_for_free_software.sam_williams.sst

however things may be getting worse rather than better upstream with ruby as a
test on (a separate debian box with the manual installation of) ruby 1.9.2p0
(2010-08-18 revision 29036) [i686 linux], failed segfaulted on the first test
passed to it

sisu --txt \
free_as_in_freedom.richard_stallman_crusade_for_free_software.sam_williams.sst

in earlier versions of sisu the equivalent of

sisu -a \
free_as_in_freedom.richard_stallman_crusade_for_free_software.sam_williams.sst

which does not happen with the version of ruby 1.9.2p0 (2010-08-18 revision
29036) [i486-linux] on unstable.

I have a Sid box, it is likely to be the same in testing, please confirm
otherwise.

Thanks,
