注意：我正在使用我在使用libxml-ruby gem时遇到的段错误来说明问题，但我已经修复了我的问题所说的gem。这个问题的真正意义在于从gdb和核心文件中查看Ruby回溯（即解释器在Ruby代码无法处理异常时打印的内容），解释器本身遇到分段错误。
我在生成XML文档时遇到奇怪的段错误：
/railsroot/vendor/isolated/ruby-1.8/gems/libxml-ruby-1.1.2/lib/libxml/node.rb:123: [BUG] Segmentation fault
ruby 1.8.7 (2011-02-18 patchlevel 334) [x86_64-linux], MBARI 0x6770, Ruby Enterprise Edition 2011.03
Aborted
更新1：这个段落也在vanilla Ruby（MRI）之下。
我已经打开了corefiles并查看了gdb中的backtrace（参见问题的结尾）。我可以看到解释器崩溃的地方，谷歌搜索导致lots of promising results。除了解释器回溯之外，我还想看到的是Ruby代码本身的回溯（即从解释器的角度来看来自）。
我希望在gdb中加载核心将允许我调用一些解释器函数来打印出解释代码的堆栈。
有什么想法吗？
对于好奇的人来说，这是核心和回溯：

当你看到这样的事情时： rb_call（klass = 37665480，recv = 132610480，mid = 104367，...
你可以弄清楚ruby代码在做什么。我有一篇博客文章：
