I've had a similar problem a few times, and it was always because I had Ruby compiled with the incorrect OpenSSL. Do you have OpenSSL installed through MacPorts? If you do you need to point your Ruby installation at /opt/local when you compile it. See if this post helps, it's for ruby 1.9 but it's the same issue with ruby 1.8 http://www.christopherirish.com/2011/09/02/ruby-1-9-2-segmentation-fault-and-openssl/
