Summary: windows-api 0.2.0/windows-pr 0.7.1 causes segfault with require of win32/file 

Initial Comment:
The latest version of windows-api/windows-pr segfault my ruby when I require 'win32/file'. The previous version worked without problems.

Sample code (segfaults, uncomment lines to use older working gems instead):
require 'rubygems'
# gem 'windows-api', '=0.1.1'
# gem 'windows-pr', '=0.7.0'
require 'win32/file'

More info. If I require 'win32/file/stat' first, then 'win32/file', it works ok. Not sure why yet:

C:\Documents and Settings\djberge\workspace\windows-pr>irb
irb(main):001:0> require 'win32/file/stat'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> require 'win32/file'
=> true
irb(main):003:0> quit

C:\Documents and Settings\djberge\workspace\windows-pr>irb
irb(main):001:0> require 'win32/file'

Hi,

Ugh, you're right. I see this:

irb(main):001:0> require 'win32/file'
C:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/prettyprint.rb:182: [BUG] Segmentation fault
ruby 1.8.5 (2006-08-25) [i386-mswin32]

Looks like something in File::Stat. Let me dig deeper.

Regards,

Dan
