It's usually a good idea to Cc <package>@packages.debian.org when you
reassign a bug.

Please keep us updated on the kazehakase-devel thread. I can't read
japanese, unfortunately.

I don't think it's a bug in ruby1.8. Garbage collection changed a bit
recently, which triggered some bugs in several libs (see #494515 for
example). If it's not a bug in kazehakase itself, it's more likely to be
a bug in libgtk-ruby1.8, since it happens while requiring that lib in
/usr/share/kazehakase/ext/ruby/kazehakase-init-pre.rb.

FWIW, I tried with libgtk2-ruby1.8 0.17.0~rc1-5, but it doesn't fix the
problem.

Based on the above info, I'm reassigning to libgtk2-ruby1.8. Feel free
to reassign to ruby1.8 if it turns out that it's a bug in ruby1.8. But
it doesn't sound like the most likely candidate.
