I am using this version of Ruby on Arch Linux. I also tried the first code snippet in ruby 1.9, which had the same results.

    ruby -v
    ruby 2.1.0p0 (2013-12-25 revision 44422) [x86_64-linux]
    uname -a
    Linux ryantm0j132 3.12.7-2-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Jan 12 13:09:09 CET 2014 x86_64 GNU/Linux

These three snippets below are separate programs.

When I use block local variables that shadow a variable the local_variables array contains 3 entries:

    a = 1
    puts local_variables.inspect #=> [:a]
    proc { |;a|
    puts local_variables.inspect #=> [:a,:a,:a]
    }.call

If I don't shadow, anything it contains 1 entry:

    puts local_variables.inspect #=> []
    proc { |;b|
    puts local_variables.inspect #=> [:b]
    }.call
    
Another example of the block local variable not shadowing anything:

    a = 1
    puts local_variables.inspect #=> [:a]
    proc { |;b|
    puts local_variables.inspect #=> [:b,:a]
    }.call
    
Is there some reason for these extra entries in the first case? Is it a bug in ruby?
