The following code examples crashes with ruby 1.8.7 (2010-01-10 patchlevel 249) [i386-mswin32], works with ruby 1.9.1p378 (2010-01-10 revision 26273) [i386-mswin32]:

require 'win32ole'

x=WIN32OLE.new 'Excel.Application'
x.visible = true
x.workbooks.add

l = (1..10).to_a
ar = [l]*54447

here it crashes:

x.range(x.cells(1,1),x.cells(ar.length,l.length)).value = ar
=end

What do you mean by `crash'?

• an exception occurred,
• ruby interpreter segfaulted,
• Excel aborted,
• the blue-screen-of-death occurred, or
• a HDD destroyed physically?

=end

=begin
Sorry, I should have been more verbose.

No exception occurs. The interpreter exits with exit code -107374181. Excel stays alive.

OS is Windows XP SP3. Excel version is 2003 SP3.

Please let me know if more information is needed.
