Also to answer your other question, this machine is replacing an existing server which originally had it installed in /usr/bin, which is why its installed there.
If you need any other information from me, let me know.

what if you compile it with --prefix=xxx -- does it err?
could you post gdb backtrace information?

This time it took exactly a month for it to happen again. Here is the backtrace after running "ruby" with no arguments.
I will compile it with the default prefix and report back if it breaks again, or in a month if it doesn't.

Hi,
I found a mail in ruby-talk (Thanks, Douglas Seifert!):
On some redhat based distros, if you compile ruby 1.9.1 from source and
install it as /usr/bin/ruby and have the "prelink" rpm installed, the ruby
binary can become corrupted by prelink.
snip
The solution is to either uninstall the prelink package or add the following
line to /etc/prelink.conf-b /usr/bin/ruby
This tells prelink to not touch the ruby interpreter.
So this is not a bug of ruby.
CentOS is really annoying, but I recommend you not to install /usr/bin
directly on Linux. It violates FHS.
I found the following Japanese article too:
"prelink in CentOS 4.7 corrupts a binary of 1.9.1"
"CentOS 4.7 では prelink が ruby 1.9.1 のバイナリを破壊する"
