Segmentation fault ruby 1.8.7 (2011-06-30 patchlevel 352) [x86_64-linux]

[Leandro @GuiadoPC]

Dear,

I need a help on a problem I'm having. I have a script written in
ruby ​​that at one point creates a snapshot of / home and then do the
backup using the tar command. It works perfectly lucid in a long time
but it is giving segmentation fault in need.

Commands that are being run:

/sbin/lvs --noheadings -ovg_name,lv_name '/dev/mapper/work-home'
/sbin/lvs --noheadings -olv_size --units k --nosuffix '/dev/mapper/work-home'
/sbin/lvcreate -L40G -s -n 'SS_backup' '/dev/work/home'

Output of strace:

stat("/var/backup/SS_backup/dir1", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0710, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0
stat("/var/backup/SS_backup/dir1", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0710, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0

I am using the following package versions:

Ubuntu         12.04 64bits
ruby1.8        1.8.7.352-2ubuntu1
gcc-4.6-base   4.6.3-1ubuntu5
linux-server   3.2.0.24.26
lvm2           2.02.66-4ubuntu7.1


Has anyone experienced this problem and can give any tips?
