Hmm.  Assuming that's the case, are fixed snapshots available anywhere else, or is this the kind of thing I have to jump in and pull out the relevent bits from a cvs diff?

I'm really in an awkward position right now; a lot of stuff I want to do requires Ruby 1.8.4, but 1.8.4 is otherwise unusable for me because of the YAML bugs.
