Subject: [ruby-talk:12129] Proc.arity() broken on Windows?

When I run the following code on windows and on linux, I get different
results.

def testArity( &proc )
    puts proc.arity()
end

testArity() {}
testArity() { |a| }
testArity() { |a,b| }
testArity() { |a,b,c| }

On linux, the result is:
-1
-2
2
3

On windows, the result is:
-1
-1
2
3

This means that on windows there seems to be no way to distinguish
between no parameters and one parameter.

Am I doing something wrong or have I discovered a bug in the windows
version?
