I know "slightly" more of Ruby, but little about GDB.

Which version of Ruby?
I could imagine that there is a bug in the LDAP library. And I don't
think it has anything to do with DragonFly. Can you try it on a 
different OS?

Can you spot the point in your Ruby program where the illegal 
instruction occurs. It's probably a method in the LDAP C extension that 
has an illegal instruction.

eval.c is a part of the Ruby interpreter. You can find it by downloading 
the Ruby sources.
