Subject: Rail fails after update of Debian

Hi there,

Bit too Rail specific perphaps, but I'm very much a newbie so maybe that 
will give me some slack :-)

After an update of Debian (testing) today, which seemed to update a 
whole bunch of ruby related packages, I've got both Gem and Rails 
(locally installated) crashing on me. Stacktrace:

usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/loadpath_manager.rb:63:in 
`directory?': string contains null byte (ArgumentError) from
/usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/loadpath_manager.rb:63:in
`search_loadpath'

The offending line is
result = 
Dir.glob("{#{($LOAD_PATH).join(',')}}/#{file}{,.rb,.so}").delete_if {
|f| File.directory?(f)}.size > 0

it seems to crash on the file

/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.1.0/lib/active_record/vendor/simple.rb

But as fas as I can see the filename doesn't contain any null-bytes.

On another machine I didn't perform the upgrade and there everyting 
works as before.

Does anyone have any clue?

Regards,

Iwan
