trouble with ruby_options() on win32 and ruby 1.8.2

[David Craine]

I'm trying to embed ruby into a win32 application; however, when
calling the ruby_options() method my process simply hangs. I am trying
to use ruby_options() to pass the -C argument to ruby to set the
current directory. My code looks like this:

UINT launchRuby()
{
char *argv[3] =
{
"ruby",
"-C..\\Release",
"test.rb"
}

ruby_init();
ruby_options(3, argv);
ruby_run();
}

My program compiles and links properly; however, when I run it it just
hangs right after the ruby_options() call (I've integrated some
diagnostic code to determine this). This same technique worked fine on
OSX, so I'm wondering if there is some issue with the Windows platform.

Which version do you use? Since last november, ruby_options()
ignores argc and argv on win32, and reads the command line from
the system.
