Feature #4224: inconsistent behavior of 'puts "\xFF"'
http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/4224

Status: Open, Priority: Normal
Category: core, Target version: 1.9.3

C:\work>ruby -ve 'puts "\xFFabc"'

$ ruby -ve 'puts "\xFFabc"'

 abc

C:\>ruby -ve 'puts "\xFFabc"'

 abc

The trunk version raises Encoding::InvalidByteSequenceError on Windows.
But, on the other version and other platform, it works without error.
What is the proper behavior?

I think this error could be avoided by following patch:
