I've finally found a combination that will reliably segfault. Since my first post on this topic, I've switched the backend from BDB to GDBM.

Hmmm...it should have no effect on a homedir...it really should have no
effect at all other than to install the software in a different root.
If the software is compiled for /usr/local and installed elsewhere using
DESTDIR, the installing person must find a way to get it into the right
place before running the software. When I use DESTDIR, I do this:
make install DESTDIR=/depot/c0/pkg-0.1
cd /depot/c0/pkg-0.1
mv usr/local/* .
depot
and the depot program makes links from /depot/c0/pkg-0.1/{bin,lib,man} into
/usr/local/{bin,lib,man} -- So, when I do this with ruby, ruby "thinks" it's
in /usr/local, but physically it isn't.
In other words, it's not prepended during compilation, only installation.
The package should have no trace of DESTDIR in any installed files after
installation.
