A lot of people I know are still using Ruby 1.8.6.  A lot of people I  
know are also on or moving to Snow Leopard.  These people could see  
some problems.  It affects at least RMagick and some of TextMate, both  
of which are popular tools.

The point of all of this is that I think we're talking about some  
pretty mainstream usage here.  I believe that's worth a patch, yes.

We know it's broken.  We know what's broken.  Is there much of a  
downside to fixing it?
