Subject: Ruby 1.8.3 breaks Needle's logger?

I've been using Ruby and Needle to develop many applications, and in
particular I've found the Needle logger to be very handy indeed, and
use it very often. Well, Gentoo finally rolled Ruby 1.8.3 into Portage
and so I was upgraded, and one thing I noticed is that my log messages
suddenly go broken.  Where I used to get log messages that look like
this:

[DEBUG] 2005-10-05T15:28:35.868732  -- core: adding new host
CCODEN38-LUCASG-VPNA-1 to druby://127.0.0.1:8169

I instead get garbage like this:

[DEBUG] 2005-10-05T15:28:35.868732  -- core: core

Every time! Has there been a change in the Ruby logger API in 1.8.3
that did this?  I've rolled back to 1.8.2 for the time being.
