There is indeed a NULL deference within libiodbc2 triggered by an error handler,
I'll go ahead reassigning this. Here is a band-aid patch that fixes
the segfault, take it
with a grain of salt because I'm not familiar with the stack's codebase.

Bug#532563: ruby: Ruby Segmentation Fault

[Grau]

Package: ruby
Version: 4.2
Severity: important


Package: Ruby
Version: 1.8.7

When querying a Microsoft SQL database, ruby segfaults. I use the package 
libdbd-odbc version 0.2.2-1 to connect to the database. The program was working 
fine before the upgrade to lenny. The error I receive is the following:

/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/DBD/ODBC/ODBC.rb:237:  [BUG] Segmentation Fault
ruby 1.8.7 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 72) [i486-linux]

Here is an example of a program that breaks:

#! /usr/bin/ruby -w

require "dbi"
dbh=DBI.connect('dbi:ODBC:server,'user','password')

mydata=dbh.select_all("select field1,field2 from DATABASE)

dbh.disconnect
