Weird:

::: dir: ~ :: user: pcp@puritan :::
irb
irb(main):001:0> a = /\[([^]]*)\]/
(irb):1: warning: character class has ']' without escape: /\[([^]]*)\]/
=> /\[([^]]*)\]/
irb(main):002:0> quit
::: dir: ~ :: user: pcp@puritan :::
ruby --version
ruby 1.8.2 (2004-12-25) [i686-linux]
::: dir: ~ :: user: pcp@puritan :::

Could this be a 64-bit problem?,
