Hi all,

I appreciate that this is not an RSpec question, but I wondered if anyone out there can offer some pointers. We're using the latest versions of RSpec and RCov, and ruby --version says this (on the Ubuntu build server):

        ruby 1.8.6 (2008-07-17 patchlevel 279) [x86_64-linux]

We're getting intermittent (yes, intermittent!) segfaults from the build when running code coverage.

It works on my (OS X 10.4) machine ;)

I can't see how to report bugs with RCov - the FAQ 'your question here'[1] doesn't offer my anywhere to type anything. It's also suggested elsewhere on the site that you can report issues on the release notes page[2], and I can see plenty of other peoples' feedback, but again I can't see any way to offer any of my own.

I must be missing something really obvious here - can anyone help me to get in touch with whatever RCov 'community' exists?

Failing that - any good resources / tips for working around these segfault issues - any 'no go areas' we can just avoid in our specs? I noticed, for example, that one of our projects consistently segfaulted on this line:
        
/vendor/plugins/rspec/lib/spec/mocks/message_expectation.rb:41: [BUG] Segmentation fault

Any pointers greatly appreciated.

cheers,
Matt
