Bug #10301: All version of Ruby core dump in ethon running wpstools (wpscan)

Seems like this is a bug, as an error or warning should be produced rather than Ruby core dumping.

Same behavior exists in Ruby 1.9.1 + 1.9.3 + 2.0 creating exactly the same stack trace.

Attached is the Ruby2.0 data. System is a plain Ubuntu system.

ethon seems using ffi.
Ruby is not answerable for libraries using ffi.
Ask ethon developers.
