New description:

 When executing the following erroneous code, where arguments should be an
 array:

 {{{
 % macruby -e 'NSTask.launchedTaskWithLaunchPath("/bin/ls",
 arguments:"-l")'
 zsh: segmentation fault
 }}}

Comment:

 @Laurent: I'm wondering though, shouldn't the BridgeSupport part of MR
 prevent the argument from being passed on at all? I.e. raise an exception?
 I was looking at the Foundation BS file and it seems that this method
 isn't even covered in Foundation.bridgesupport, just in
 FoundationFull.bridgesupport. Is that relevant in any way?
