Hi!

I reported a problem 2004-12-23 on 1.8.2 preview4. It seems to have 
reappeared in the current CVS head on the "ruby_1_8" branch.

See a copy of my earlier mail below.

The following example (taken from the PickAxe2 documentation of 
IO#reopen) doesn't work in preview4:


      File.open("testfile", "w") do |f|
        5.times do |i|
  	f.puts "This is line #{i}"
        end
      end

      f1 = File.new("testfile")
      f2 = File.new("testfile")

      puts f2.readlines[0]
      f2.reopen(f1)
      puts f2.readlines[0]


Output in preview3:

      This is line 0
      This is line 0

Output in preview4:


      This is line 0
      test-reopen.rb:12:in `readlines': not opened for reading (IOError)
              from test-reopen.rb:12
