Ruby 1.8.7 p174, which ships on Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic) is very buggy and
has a number of segmentation faults still. Most of those that occur
are periodic and won't occur on subsequent runs of chef-client.

Some history of our work to backport ruby patches from upstream to
karmic-updates is in CHEF-530 [1].
