Subject: Array::new

Just had something unexpected - is this the correct behaviour?

foo = Array.new(3,Array.new)
foo[0] << 4
foo[1] << 5
foo[0] << 6
p foo

outputs...

[[4, 5, 6], [4, 5, 6], [4, 5, 6]]

I realise what's happening here, and might have expected it if the
first line was
foo = Array.new(3,[])

I'm left with doing this:
foo = (1..3).collect { [] }

which doesn't exactly raise my heartbeat. Any other options?

Cheers
