Subject: Re: Ri bug in new 1.8.2 release

The reason it is failing is because the comment
section inside the yaml file is empty.

Looking at cdesc-String.yaml:

  cat cdesc-String.yaml
  ...
  class_methods:
    - !ruby/object:RI::MethodSummary
      name: new
  comment:
  constants: []
  ...

Whereas looking at cdesc-Array.yaml

  cat cdesc-Array.yaml
  ...
  class_methods:
    - !ruby/object:RI::MethodSummary
      name: "[]"
    - !ruby/object:RI::MethodSummary
      name: new
  comment:
    - !ruby/struct:SM::Flow::P
      body: "Arrays are ordered, integer-indexed collections of any object.
  Array indexing starts at 0, as in C or Java. A negative index is assumed to
  be relative to the end of the array---that is, an index of -1 indicates the
  last element of the array, -2 is the next to last element in the array, and
  so on."
  constants: []
  ...

So, the question is, why didn't the comment section get generated on my machine?
