Issue #13264 has been updated by jeremyevans0 (Jeremy Evans).


This is still a bug in the master branch of irb.  I've submitted a pull request to fix it by using a delegate: https://github.com/ruby/irb/pull/24

This works as expected (starts IRB):

```
$ ruby -r irb -e '"".instance_eval{ binding.irb }'
```

This throws an error:

```
$ ruby -r irb -e '"".freeze.instance_eval{ binding.irb }'
```

```

	from -e:1:in `instance_eval'

```

Also fails, but slightly different error:

```
ruby -r irb -e 'Object.new.freeze.instance_eval{ binding.irb }'
```
