However, I'll submit a patch if you think > it's worthwhile. 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? James Edward Gray II
