Akira, thank you once again.  Often in the afternoon when I am listless,
I spend some acreage of time playing with the `tst.rb' script in our
last correspondence.  This case is one I discovered there as well.

A problematic document:

  YAML::load <<EOY
  - !str >
    okay
  EOY

I will report when this is corrected.  Generally, I can run 100,000
iterations of your script and it will now pass.  It has been quite
valuable.
