	Howdy.  I'm not 100% sure why the 1st chunk of code doesn't
work.  I know the second one does, but given my knowledge of other
languages, this strikes me bug-ish, but not necessarily a bug (maybe in
terms of lack of documentation).  Thoughts?

########### Begin 1st block of code ###############
class Testing
  @test_hash =3D Hash.new()

  public
  def set(key, val)
    @test_hash[key] =3D val
  end
end

asdf =3D Testing.new
asdf.set("foo", "bar")
########### End 1st block of code ###############

########### Begin 2nd block of code ###############
class Testing
  def initialize
    @test_hash =3D Hash.new()
  end

  public

  def set(key, val)
    @test_hash[key] =3D val
  end
end

asdf =3D Testing.new
asdf.set("foo", "bar")
########### End 1st block of code ###############

	-sc

	PS  In the event that this is a bug:

ruby 1.6.4 (2001-06-19) [i386-freebsd4.3]
