Open yaml bugs, and [status in 1.8.6p111]:

[#3698] In a highly dynamic ObjectSpace (loads of created and collected 
objects) YAML creates erroneous anchors/references [? related to #8548]

[#6819] YAML loses data [verified]

[#7787] YAML.parse fails to recognize document terminator when it 
follows a multiline scalar [verified]

[#8026] YAML fails to parse its own input [verified]

[#8548] YAML::Omap loses entries, replacing them with random references 
[verified]

[#8886] YAML fails to load a Hash containing a Pathname [verified]

[#9053] YAML.load(file) cannot be used to load documents in sequence. 
[verified]

[#9518] YAML: Derived String and binary data. [verified]

[#12761] Yaml doesn't load large DateTimes [verified]

[#12847] class Module in lib/yaml/tag.rb removes Module from RDoc HTML 
documentation output [verified, but solution provided, and this looks 
like a slam dumk]
