Subject: Syck with Ruby 1.6.7 Lost Character

There seems to be a bug using the latest Syck with Ruby 1.6.7. When I to_yaml 
an object it's truncating the first character of all the attribute names:

--- !ruby/object:Distro
ey: blin
ame: Blin Linux
ersion: "1.3"
bout: "Blin Linux is a stable, fast, universal, multi-purpose and 100% free 
Linux operating system for x86 processors. It doesn't need to be i
nstalled on a hard disk as it is run directly from the bootable CD. The 
comfortable graphical user interface and excellent support for Cyrilli
c alphabet (Russian, Ukrainian...) makes Blin Linux a useful alternative to 
similar existing products. It is designed for novice users who hav
e just started using Linux as well as for experienced system integrators."

Here's the class I'm using:

  class Distro

    attr_reader :key
    attr_accessor :name, :version, :about, :features, :packages, :status, :origin
    attr_accessor :homepages, :mailinglists, :userforums, :documents, :mirrors, :websites, :reviews
    attr_accessor :where_to_buy, :note

    def initialize(key,name,version,about='')
      @key = key
      @name = name
      @version = version
      @about = about
      @features = {}
      @packages = {}
      @status = ''
      @origin = ''
      @homepages = {}
      @mailinglists = {}
      @userforums = {}
      @documents = {}
      @mirrors = {}
      @websites = {}
      @reviews = {}
      @where_to_buy = {}
    end

    def to_yaml_properties
      ['key','name','version','about','features','packages','status','origin',
       'homepages','mailinglists','userforums','documents','mirrors','websites',
       'reviews','where_to_buy'
      ]
    end

  end  # Distro
