Subject: [ruby-talk:16803] Re: accessing instance variables in ruby debugger

Hi,

In message "[ruby-talk:16780] accessing instance variables in ruby debugger"

|If I have an instance of small ruby class with 2 instance variables

|"<MyTest:0x2a47188  @myotheritem=12, @myitem=10>"
|however if 
|
|I enter "v i obj" ( view instance variables of obj ) I get
| @myitem => nil
| @myotheritem => nil

It's a bug.
