Please, please, please, please, please, please... this has been driving me =
crazy for almost two years now.  Each time I upgrade, the bug is still ther=
e, but the trigger changes.  In my experience, it's happened when there's a=
 whole lot of string-handling going on for long periods of time (or even mo=
re string-handling for shorter periods of time)

I've experienced the first two relatively consistently since 1.6.8.  Additi=
onally, now that the app I work on/use most of the time uses YAML, I see th=
e error "appear" in yaml most of the time.  However, in a previous app that=
 didn't use YAML, the error appeared in various other files.  It's also app=
eared in profiler.rb.  HTH!
