Thank you for looking into this.

It seems to be a ruby issue, indeed: weechat hasn't crashed anymore since disabling the one ruby script that I was running. I'm glad to hear the problem is fixed in ruby 1.9.

As promised, the results of my investigations are:

1) the problems looks like a memory leak (or stack overflow, I don't know exactly) in ruby 1.8.x, when calling "rb_protect" many times

2) with ruby 1.9.1, there is no problem: looks like problem has been fixed in ruby 1.9.x

I just commited changes to compile fine with ruby >= 1.9.1.

So for me, it's a ruby 1.8.x problem, if you agree I'll close this bug (since I don't know how to fix problem for ruby 1.8.x in WeeChat).

Hi,

I can reproduce this bug with a test server I'm currently writing (weercd.py, which floods client with many messages in a short time).
With minbif_typing_notice.rb loaded, it crashes after some seconds of flood.
For now, I have no idea why it crashes (it's in ruby stuff), I'll look at problem and keep you informed of my investigations.

If you ever want to test with this flood server, let me know I'll send you by mail (not publicly available yet, it's under dev).

This has happened to me several times.

As far as I can tell it crashes somewhere in the ruby plugin code, so I'll try running without ruby scripts and see if crash goes away. The only ruby script that I have loaded is minbif_typing_notice.rb taken from here: http://www.weechat.org/scripts/source/stable/minbif_typing_notice.rb

I have the core file and weechat.log files at hand so I could upload those too after stripping out personal stuff.
