I tried two different things.  I did the CVS thing first:

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.ruby-lang.org:/src login
cvs -z4 -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.ruby-lang.org:/src co ruby

When that gave me 1.9 I removed it, then I went to
http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/20020102.html and clicked on "stable
snapshot", downloaded the stable-snapshot.tar.gz file, and built that.
Still 1.9.

On an unrelated note, I think I discovered a bug in 1.9:

?q => 'q' # should be 113, right?
