Summary: Strange behaviour of iterator variable inside eval 

Initial Comment:
This does what I would expect:

 [robin robin]$ ruby -e '[1].each_index{|i| eval "puts i"}'
 0

However, if I assign to i after the puts, i is equal to true rather than to 0:

 [robin robin]$ ruby -e '[1].each_index{|i| eval "puts i; i=1"}'
 true

I'm running the 2006-12-25 build:

 [robin robin]$ ruby -v
 ruby 1.8.5 (2006-12-25 patchlevel 12) [powerpc-darwin8.8.0]

I'm told that the code above works as expected in the 2006-08-25 release, so this looks like a regression.
