Subject: [ruby-talk:11322] ruby-mode.el quirk

It seems that an attempt to use the division operator / in a ruby
program makes the ruby-mode parser think that I'm beginning a regex,
such that in the code fragment

  re += '(.)' * (length / 2)
  re += '.' if length % 2 > 0
  (length/2).downto(1) {|i| re += "\\#{i}" }

everything from the / following "length" in the first line through the
/ following "length" in the third line is the regex color. I'm using
GNU emacs 20.7.1 on Win2K.  Any suggestions?  I am not an emacs-lisp
hacker, myself, beyond the occasional macro and such.
