Subject: More ri-problems (ruby_1_8 branch again)

Hi!

I have noticed the previous threads about problems with ri in the 
upcoming 1.8.5. Today I tried ri myself using a fresh CVS-checkout of 
the "ruby_1_8" branch.

There seem to be quite a number of problems. I don't know if some of 
them are "wellknown" and considered unimportant to fix in 1.8.5. But it 
seems to me that it would be a good idea to fix some of them before the 
1.8.5 release.

Below is a list of things I found. I mention some things only once, even 
if it reappears in severals classes.
