Subject: irb issue

Hello,

I'm not sure if this is a bug but I've stumbled across some strange
behaviour in irb. I've tried looking at
http://www.ruby-lang.org/cgi-bin/ruby-bugs but I get a 404.

If I do something like "String = 2" two times in a row in irb it 
crashes:
[lml@null:~/Documents/Code/ruby/mm/code] irb
irb(main):001:0> String = 2
(irb):1: warning: already initialized constant String
=> 2
irb(main):002:0> String = 2

...
