Bug #632: StringIO has an odd alias implementation [?]
http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/632

Author: Roger Pack
Status: Open, Priority: Normal

Here's my situation:

require 'stringio'
class C < StringIO
 alias :old_init :initialize
 def initialize
   old_init
 end
end
C.new # fails 1.9, succeeds 1.8.6

normal classes:

class A
 def initialize
   print 'A init'
 end
end
class B < A
 alias :old_init :initialize
 def initialize
   old_init
 end
end
B.new # succeeds 1.9, 1.8

Thanks for your help! I know I'm annoying with this.
