I'm debugging some cucumber scenarios for a rails app, and ruby-debug is not behaving the way I expect. I have a debugger statement at the top of one of my failing steps, and when I do some routine debugging activities in the resulting debugger prompt, the rake aborts and tosses me back to the terminal prompt.
/Users/mylogin/app/app/features/step_definitions/merchant_payment_steps.rb:103
Then "I should see \"form#payment-form\""

I'm not super familiar with ruby-debug, so if this is some elementary thing, go ahead and tell me to RTFM. I've tried starting irb from ruby-debug (irb being something I am intimately familiar with), and it behaves the same way given the same code. I'm struggling with what to Google to try and figure this out, so any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
EDIT:
Here's the command with a stack trace (it's ugly):

The --wip switch was used, so the failures were expected. All is good.
you are using Capybara to test your page and Capybara uses a html parser like hpricot or nokogiri to parse the html markup of the called page. The problem maybe a segmentation fault caused by the html parser. I experienced this problem several times. Try to run your test task with --trace to see the full stack trace.
