I tried installing ruby 1.9.3-p0 and got an error after a successful installation

ubuntu@domU-12-31-39-0B-61-A1:~$ ruby-build 1.9.3-p0 /opt/ruby/1.9.3-p0 -v

....

Installed ruby-1.9.3-p0 to /opt/ruby/1.9.3-p0
/tmp/ruby-build.20120201172315.28186 ~
~
Terminated
ubuntu@domU-12-31-39-0B-61-A1:~$ echo $?
143

This was on Linux, I'm not quite sure how repeatable it is, but I got an error at the end of the installation twice (first time I didn't check the status code, except to see that it indicated an error).
In Mac OS X lion I got 0 as status code.

The Terminated does not show up in the actual log file, so I assume it belongs to the tail command, so I'm assuming that it somehow causes the command to fail, but a smaller test script didn't confirm my suspicion (tail exited normally there)
