Turns out the problem is that when assigning to $0/$PROGRAM_NAME Ruby  
will put that as argv[0] and put NULL in the rest of the slots --  
this is done so that ‘ps’ etc. will show the new name in the process  
listing.

Unfortunately some of the code involved in loading cocoaruby does  
strcmp etc. on argv values, and thus the crash.

Haris found a thread on ruby-talk which discussed the problem, and it  
may have been worked around for 1.8.4.

An ambitious remaking of RubyMate is now in progress, so we can  
supply the proper script name… :)
