Summary: LibXML::XML::XPath::Object segfault (null pointer) on x86-64
Initial Comment:
This script results in a ruby "[BUG] Segmentation fault" on a 64-bit machine,
but works on a 32-bit machine:
----
#!/usr/bin/ruby
require 'rubygems'
require 'libxml'
x = LibXML::XML::Parser.string("<root />").parse
x.find("/root") # if you comment out this line, script will NOT segfault
x.find("/root").length # segfault occurs here
----
valgrind and gdb agree on this stack trace:

Unfortunately I don't know enough about the Ruby C API to understand what's
going wrong here. My environment:
