Vagrant up Segfault error

Question

I would really like to use vagrant to set up a rails dev environment on my computer, but whenever i run vagrant up i get a segfault error. I have tried reinstalling both vagrant and virtualbox, and different versions of both. I'm new to vagrant and can't seem to figure out what is going wrong. Here is the error message:

F:\Projects\toy_app>vagrant up

Then it goes on to list ~450 lines of backtrace.

Try this, it works for me.

vagrant plugin uninstall ffi && vagrant plugin install ffi --plugin-version 1.9.8
