Hey,

I ran into an annoying bug while trying to use the Ferret gem:

C:\Documents and Settings\Ilya>ruby -v
ruby 1.8.4 (2006-04-14) [i386-mswin32]

C:\Documents and Settings\Ilya>gem list --local

*** LOCAL GEMS ***

ferret (0.10.6)
    Ruby indexing library.
...


C:\Documents and Settings\Ilya>irb
irb(main):001:0> "\t\tabcd".dump
=> "\"\\t\\tabcd\""
irb(main):002:0> require 'ferret'
=> true
irb(main):003:0> "\t\tabcd".dump
=> "\"          abcd\"\000\000"
irb(main):004:0>

Something breaks in ruby after I include ferret and rails collapses on 
the spot.  The templating engine falls down and starts complaining about 
weird characters in my .rhtml files.

More info on this and similar issues:

I've tried this on two different computers, with 1.8.4.20, 1.8.5.. and 
even 1.8.2, all yielding the same results. (Yes, I also tried different 
versions of the ferret gem). Any suggestions?

Cheers,
Ilya
