Bug #1184: Type error in Integer#to_bn (via Openssl)
http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/1184

Author: Mike Furr
Status: Open, Priority: Normal
ruby -v: ruby 1.8.7 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 72) [x86_64-linux]

The openssl library adds the to_bn method to the Integer class for creating an instance of the OpenSSL::BN class.  The code, located in openssl/bn.rb, is:

  def to_bn
    OpenSSL::BN::new(self)
  end

However, the constructor for the BN class takes a String, not an Integer.

The following repoduces the error:
  require 'openssl'
  3.to_bn
  => TypeError: can't convert Fixnum into String
