 The following code triggers a segfault:

 {{{
 def slow_operation(n); end
 n = 10
 ths = []
 10.times do |n| ths << Thread.new{slow_operation("thread #{n}")} end;
 ths.each{|t| t.join}
 }}}

 Renaming or removing the n variable fixes the problem.

 You build a dynamic string "thread #{n}" inside a thread. n refers to the
 block dvar or, at one point, we leave the times loop before the thread
 starts to use the variable
