Thank you.  The was the hint I needed.

The above hack is missing in the current versions of Ruby.  I found  
it in my old CVS checkout, so it was it there once upon a time.   
Using it DOES eliminate the warning, which is why I couldn't figure  
out what to patch.  ;)

Can any Ruby core gurus tell me why this was removed?
