Linked is a trivial crashing program (and the project I built it
with); all I had to do was create a new MacRuby project in XCode 4,
tweak it (using the awesome
http://redwoodapp.posterous.com/macruby-and-xcode-4-build-a-self-contained-ma)
to successfully build an archive, add the --bs flag to macruby_deploy,
archive, and run the result on my test computer that hasn't had
preview3 installed. Crashes every time. If I remove the --bs flag, it
runs fine:

I have not tried to get it to crash on my development box (though I'll
probably attempt that next); perhaps the difference is running it on a
box that truly has never had the new BridgeSupport installed?

Nope, the crasher has nothing embedded beyond MacRuby.
