Ah, there's the rub. Yes, this was with a custom build of ruby, not  
the default Tiger install.

I have both installed, and there you can see the discrepancy clearly:

[Slim:~] gavinkis% /usr/bin/ruby -v
ruby 1.8.2 (2004-12-25) [powerpc-darwin8.0]
[Slim:~] gavinkis% /usr/bin/ruby pack.rb
"A\000\000\000"

[Slim:~] gavinkis% /usr/local/bin/ruby -v
ruby 1.8.2 (2004-12-25) [powerpc-darwin8.0.0]
[Slim:~] gavinkis% /usr/local/bin/ruby pack.rb
"\000\000\000A"
