All Ruby HEAD patches have been backported to Syck CVS yesterday.  Also, 
outstanding patches from PySyck maintainers and Audrey Tang.  You can 
follow here: http://code.whytheluckystiff.net/syck/timeline

I've cleared out many of the tickets also.  Rubyforge tickets are moved.

Now, about the bug above.  Thankyou for reporting this!  This appears to 
be bad YAML coming out of the emitter.  (Which makes sense since a new 
emitter was written for 1.8.3/1.8.4.)  The parser is correctly giving a 
syntax error.  I am in the YAML spec looking right now.

At any rate, Syck 0.65 will be updated in Ruby CVS this weekend.
