Yes.

Thanks. That confirms that I'm not running the code I think I am, and
the above stack trace makes that obvious, (see
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/sup/sent.rb). So I was running some unholy mixture
of the installed Debian sup and the from-git sup and it worked no
better than one would expect.

My previously reported crashes didn't happen to fail in a way that
made /usr/lib show up in the stack trace, but both crashes are fixed
by just moving /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/sup out of the way.

So I'm glad to have things working now, but I'm still curious to know
why ruby goes digging into /usr/lib/ruby/1.8 to find sup/sent.rb when
there's a ./lib/sub/sent.rb present and I've passed a "-I ./lib"
option to ruby, (and plainly, ruby is interpreting other files from
./lib).

And I'd be glad if someone could recommend a ruby-esque way to debug a
situation like this. I mean, I could obviously have just run ruby
under strace and looked for the paths of various *.rb files getting
loaded, but surely there's some more ruby-specific way to list files
that are being used?

PS. I'm intrigued by the following mention:

	You?ve got the same sort of command-line debugger available.
	[http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/documentation/ruby-from-other-languages/to-ruby-from-c-and-c-/]

so that's clearly something I'm going to have to learn to use.
