Great, I'll change to match.

I've been using the "One-Click Installer"
http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=167&release_id=10461
I've been using Ruby 1.8.5, I'll upgrade to 1.8.6 this weekend. So no
I have not been building Ruby from source. I'm matching the compiler
used which is VC6 (I think I read that that is the one your using?).

There are prebuilt windows binaries at
http://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/binaries/mswin32/
although there isn't any indication that I can find about what
compiler was used. I'm guessing it's VC6 because I think these are
what are packaged in the one-click installer.

There _are_ problems on Windows with mixing the CRT versions that are
used to build Ruby vs that used to build extensions. So the problems
you're describing aren't surprising.
