ruby -v yields: ruby 1.8.2 (2004-07-08) [i686-linux]

I think this was a nightly snapshot from a couple of weeks ago. I don't
think I got it directly from CVS, but from the (presumably) auto-generated
.tgz file.

But that was on top of 1.8.1 -- is it possible that my install is screwed
up somehow?

FYI, I installed ssh via the gem.

I downloaded the patch but decided I didn't need it.

Here's a list of some related files with timestamps.  What do you think?

Thanks,
Hal
