Bug Description

Binary package hint: swig1.3

When generating ruby bindings withe the -minherit flag and STL vectors, the generated code is not usable with ruby.

When generating code with %template(some_name) std::vector<any_type>, the generated code will cause a segfault in registration with a NameError relating to "reject!" when run from ruby.

This was not a problem in previous versions of swig.

Generate a library and then try to use it from ruby with this code and the -minherit flag will fail.
