----------------------------------------
Bug #5415: YAML serialization problem for Exception
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/5415

Author: Owen Ou
Status: Open
Priority: Urgent
Assignee: 
Category: 
Target version: 1.9.2
ruby -v: 1.9


The implementation of YAML.object_maker allocates an object and
instance_variable_set the instance variables passed as the second
argument, while Exception doesn't seem to use such instance variable to
return the exception message (Exception#message). This bug can be
reproduced by typing
YAML::load(YAML::dump(Exception.new('test_message'))) in IRB.

this bug can be reproduced in Ruby 1.8 as well
