Hi, I''ve been using the rassmalog static blogging engine and have encountered a stack overflow inside the redcloth regexp matcher. I don''t seem to suffer this error on my Ubuntu (Feisty Fawn) box (with Ruby 1.8.4??), but I do get it on my Gentoo system. Running the following line will generate it (I''ve attached the YAML/redcloth file to this message). $ ruby -ryaml -rubygems -e "require ''redcloth''; f YAML.load_file(''regexp-stack-overflow.yaml''); puts RedCloth.new(f[''text'']).to_html" My system is: $ uname -a Linux godspeed 2.6.18-gentoo-r6 #1 PREEMPT Sun Dec 31 13:52:07 GMT 2006 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux $ ruby -version ruby 1.8.6 (2007-03-13 patchlevel 0) [i686-linux] (I have also tried with Gentoo''s Ruby 1.8.5_p2 - which generated the same error) $ gem list redcloth *** LOCAL GEMS *** RedCloth (3.0.4) RedCloth is a module for using Textile and Markdown in Ruby. Textile and Markdown are text formats. A very simple text format. Another stab at making readable text that can be converted to HTML. -- Rick rick.moynihan at gmail.com -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
