Comment(by lsansonetti@…):

 As of trunk r3858, it fails like this:

 {{{
 $ cat t.rb
 class Symbol
   def eq
     @foo=42
   end
 end
 p :foo.eq
 $ ./miniruby t.rb
 miniruby(70683,0x7fff7056bc00) malloc: *** auto malloc[70683]: error for
 object 0x7ffee30ba270: auto_zone_set_associative_ref: object should point
 to a GC block or a global address, otherwise associations will leak. Break
 on auto_zone_association_error() to debug.
 42
 }}}

 This is because symbols are allocated from the regular malloc zone and
 cannot be used for associative references.
