Subject: [ruby-talk:15763] Re: Disabling stderr

    Actually i've been perusing the source to the ruby parser and found that
'rb_compile_error_append' is called when a compile time error occurs.
'rb_compile_error_append' calls 'err_append' which when in eval mode dumps
the error via a call to fputs( s, stderr ).  I could try the same technique
you described in C to keep ruby from doing this.  Tom
