=begin

Windows 7, with Ruby 1.9.3p327, originally found in 1.9.3.p194
 irb(main):001:0> filename = "test.txt"
 => "test.txt"
 irb(main):002:0> suffix = "-suffix"
 => "-suffix"
 irb(main):003:0> filename.gsub(/^(.+)(\..+)$/, "#{$1}#{suffix}#{$2}")
 => "-suffix"
 irb(main):004:0> # ^ that doesn't look right
 irb(main):005:0* # now if i add some spaces to the replacement string
 irb(main):006:0* # it will work like it should (with the spaces)
 irb(main):007:0* filename.gsub(/^(.+)(\..+)$/, "#{$1}#{suffix} #{$2}")
 => "test-suffix .txt"
 irb(main):008:0> # and if i run the original it will work fine now
 irb(main):009:0* filename.gsub(/^(.+)(\..+)$/, "#{$1}#{suffix}#{$2}")
 => "test-suffix.txt"
 irb(main):010:0> # Running Windows 7, installed using RubyInstaller.org

Arch Linux with Ruby 1.9.3.p286
 irb(main):001:0> filename = "test.txt"
 => "test.txt"
 irb(main):002:0> suffix = "-suffix"
 => "-suffix"
 irb(main):003:0> filename.gsub(/^(.+)(\..+)$/, "#{$1}#{suffix}#{$2}")
 => "-suffix"
 irb(main):004:0> # ^ that's not right
 irb(main):005:0* # adding spaces works just like in windows
 irb(main):006:0* filename.gsub(/^(.+)(\..+)$/, "#{$1}#{suffix} #{$2}")
 => "test-suffix .txt"
 irb(main):007:0> # and removing the space gives the expected result now
 irb(main):008:0* filename.gsub(/^(.+)(\..+)$/, "#{$1}#{suffix}#{$2}")
 => "test-suffix.txt"
 irb(main):009:0> # Reproduced on Arch Linux
