Subject: Parsing error in 1.8.2 Dir.glob


Hello,

After upgrading to ruby-1.8.2 my gem-based rails no longer ran.
It boiled down to the following:

irb(main):014:0> 
Dir.glob("{/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.0.0/lib,.} \  
/active_record/vendor/simple.rb{,.rb,.so}").delete_if{|f| \ 
File.directory?(f)}.size > 0

ArgumentError: string contains null byte
        from (irb):14:in `directory?'
        from (irb):14
        from (irb):14:in `delete_if'
        from (irb):14
        from :0
irb(main):015:0>

In the ML I've seen someone with this problem who tried to install a gem.
The problem arises from the .rb in simple.rb.

Cheers,
