Ah.  That explains my problem using the Windows installer version. 
There has been no 1.8.3 release, for assorted reasons, and I forgot that 
I'm therefore not running the latest Ruby.

So my suggestion is a 1.8.2 bit of code.

I believe Curt will release a 1.8.4 Windows installer version when Matz 
releases that version of Ruby around Christmas.
