Subject: [ruby-core:27296] [Bug #2519] __method__ can return NULL (and therefore crash ruby)

Bug #2519: __method__ can return NULL (and therefore crash ruby)
http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/2519

Author: Marc-Andre Lafortune
Status: Open, Priority: High
Category: core, Target version: Ruby 1.8.8
ruby -v: ruby 1.8.8dev (2009-12-21) [i386-darwin10.2.0]

In Ruby 1.8.7 and latest 1.8.8:

$ cat ohoh.rb 
puts __method__

$ ruby18dev -e "load 'ohoh.rb'"
val (null) id 140734799802560/Users/work/test/ohoh.rb:1:in `to_s': NULL pointer given (ArgumentError)
	from /Users/work/test/ohoh.rb:1:in `puts'
	from /Users/work/test/ohoh.rb:1
	from -e:1:in `load'
	from -e:1


Doing __method__.inspect instead will crash Ruby
