Now this sounds familiar Ithough  don';t tink I ever told Mike of my problems )

mechanize.rb, in the parse_html method, has ths code:

:  @root.each_recursive {|node|
:      name = node.name.downcase
:      case name


If the node does not have a name attribute, then downcase
expectorates.   I think.

Try changing that to 
:      name = node.name.to_s.downcase

or add a nil? test  someplace
