That's useful to know, thanks for following this up.

I think the difference is that I compiled the new version of wxWidgets 
for wxRuby 1.9.9 with wxUSE_EXCEPTIONS set 0 instead of 1. I'm guessing 
what was happening was that C++ exceptions were leaking through to Ruby, 
which is a bad thing and caused the uninformative crashes you reported.

I'll make this part of the official build instructions from now on.
