Sorry for a terse report and lack of supporting materials, I'm extremely busy now.

Bug #8611: Minitest encoding problems.

ruby -v: 2.0.0.latest patch
Backport: 1.9.3: UNKNOWN, 2.0.0: UNKNOWN


A long standing annoying misfeature of minitest is the problem with encoding, which I have solved by patching the backtrace.join line in units.rb, #puke method with map{ |str| str.force_encoding( "UTF-8 ) }. If I don't do this, the tests in irb won't run, instead I get a complaint about "ASCII 8" versus "UTF-8" incompatibility. Only happens when one extensively uses UTF characters when coding, an annoying intermittent error.
