Ok, so here's a simplified summary:

def a(array)
  # build an array in here
  return array # This is the problem!
end

foo.each { |i|
  output << a(i)
}
puts output.join("\n")

In one place I was building an array internally and then returning
that array.  It was then being used to build another array.  The
problem is in the return statement.

So
  return array
becomes
  return array.join("\n")

I don't get it.. but at least it's working.  Now i'm on to other
curious issues, such as why
  pause = gets.chomp
gives me:
  `lstat': No such file or directory - pause (Errno::ENOENT)
and works differently inside and outside of a wrapper-script.  Hrmph!
