I'm still seeing all the same behaviour as Paul and can't seem to duplicate the numbers you are showing us. Was there a special way you built Ruby 1.9? My 1.9 is built with mostly default options save a different install path: ./configure --prefix=/home/roelofs/bin/ruby19 --program-suffix=19 --with-baseruby=/usr/bin/ruby Jason
