The more I look at it, it might be an issue with linux threads.
I am assuming kernel 2.6 uses NPTL as oppose to linux threads.
The segmentation faults always happens whenever I tried to perform
a mutex lock on the ruby interpreter thread.
Just to be sure, can you display your library versions with the following
command:
% /lib/libc.so.6
Here's my output

I'll see if I can build NPTL on my linux 2.4 machine and
use that instead of linuxthreads.

What version of the linux kernel are you using?
I run VCS, NC-Verilog, and Modelsim on a 64-bit machine:
Linux 2.6.18-8.1.8.el5 #1 SMP Tue Jul 10 06:39:17 EDT 2007 x86_64
x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I run Cver on a 32-bit machine:
Linux 2.6.20-16-generic #2 SMP Thu Jun 7 20:19:32 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux
I'm still having difficulty debugging the core dump
from NC-verilog and my original idea of it being a license
issue was not correct.
Recompile Ruby-VPI with the "-g" flag:
export CFLAGS=-g
rake clobber build
Now when you open the core dump with GDB, you'll get some useful info.
