Subject: gets bug?


<snip>
if ARGV.size > 0
    puts "first arg is #{ARGV[0]}"
end
puts "enter text"
ans = gets
puts "you said #{ans}"
</snip>

Run this code, as ./test.rb.  Then run it with an command line arg, like 
"./test.rb -x".  And you will get an error like this:

   "test.rb:3:in `gets': No such file or directory - -x (Errno::ENOENT)"

The fix I have found, is to change gets to $stdin.gets.  I saw some 
traffic on the mailing list archives regarding this, but no resolution.

Is this expected behaviour?
ruby -v is: ruby 1.8.3 (2005-09-21) [sparc-solaris2.10]
