Subject: Unpack problems

Hi!  I'm having some troubles with unpack that I can't seem to figure
out.  My test program looks like this:

foo = "\000\000\022\227"
puts foo.unpack("N")

On linux (ruby 1.8.3 (2005-09-21) [i386-linux]), the test program gives
the following output:

4759

Which is what I expect.  However, on OS X (ruby 1.8.2 (2004-12-25)
[powerpc-darwin8.0]), I get the following output:

2534539264

I can't figure out if I'm doing something stupid, or if there is a
problem with ruby.  Thanks for the help!
