Subject: irb crash

I'm new so I don't know if/where I should report this...

if I type:

String = Hash

in irb twice it crashes. it crashed with other stuff besides Hash,  
too. just doing it twice at once with a semicolon doesn't crash  
immediately.

OS X 10.4.6
ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24) [powerpc-darwin8.5.0]
irb 0.9.5(05/04/13)
