just to say. tests are with the latest installer 1.8.2rc14a, and with 
ruby-gtk2 0.10.1 self-compiled in both cases.
if using 0.9.x or 0.10.0 ruby-gtk2 and ruby-installer, crash also.
so the only combination that works is ruby-gtk2 AND ruby self-compiled.

You need to separate either EXERB or Ruby-GNOME2.

Anyway, post your source code, please.

Hello!

Thanks for the quick answer...

Sorry, forget about EXERB. I shouldn't mention it in this mail.

Yes. The source code is at:
http://www.chez.com/powerpeanuts/studier_rgtk.tar.gz [17kb]

To run it, please type:
ruby gstudy_app.rb questions.txt

The application will start, no problem. In the application in the middle 
you have a list "questionnaries" with two questionnaries. select one, 
click "Properties" in the toolbar. a new window opens. close it with the 
cross in the window. answer "Yes" when asked if you're sure to close. 
try to reopen it. here it crashes almost every time .
Otherwise if i doesn't crash (sometimes it happens for a while) quit 
application, repeat that several times, or try to close the questionnary 
window by clicking OK instead of using the cross etc.

It will not crash with a ruby built from source. only with the one-click 
installer ruby.

to be 100% clear. Always using ruby-gtk 0.10.1 built from source (but 
the bug also happens with compiled ruby-gtk from your website). when 
using the one-click ruby binary, it crashes randomly and in general very 
quickly.
When using the ruby built from source using msys following your 
instructions on ruby-gnome2.sourceforge.jp, it works flawlessly.

I hope you can figure it out...

Thanks. I could reproduce it. But I couldn't fix it.
And unfortunately, I'm not good at compiler and Win32.

Are there anyone to help us?

Could it be that the one-click ruby installer is built with Visual Studio?
http://rubyinstaller.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl?DevDoc

"I am using VC++ 7.1 (comes with Visual Studio .NET 2003), but VC++ 6.0 
SP5 should also work."

It's probably some kind of incompatibility msvc++/msys-gcc?

Otherwise the best is probably to mention it to the ruby-installer team.
There is a mailing-list at:
http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/rubyinstaller-users/

If you want, I'll do it.

Hmm.

Thanks. I hope so. I don't have enough time now to spend it, sorry.
