Hi gurus and nubys,
Actually I don't have a clue on why this happens, but it seem it is related to readline.
The segfaults happens whith an input like:
Something::SomethingElse.foo
when written like this:
Somet<tab>::Something<tab>.fo<tab><enter>
example (obviously you won't see the tabs but they're there 
C:\Documents and Settings\gabriele\Desktop>irb --simple-prompt
>> require 'active_record'
=> true
>> ActiveRecord::Base.table_name
c:/programmi/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/irb/input-method.rb:99: [BUG] Segmentation fault

I get this too. In fact if I just type "String::" and press TAB twice, irb segfaults.

irb segfaults.

There is an open bug report on this:
http://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=876&group_id=167&atid
=715
I'm not sure if there'll be anything I can do about this, unless/until there
is an updated version of readline that I can try.

There is an open bug report on this:
yes, I reported it there cause I had no feedback here. Is sad to hear that you don't know how to fix it, but is good to see that you would do something if you could. I hope I could do it myself..
Thank you, anyway.

Ruby-talk is definitely the best place to report this. It was only because
of some observant ruby-talk readers that I was able to obtain a working
version of readline for windows.
Perhaps there are some other people reading this who have the expertise and
ability to find & fix this problem. If so, please let me know.
