Bah...this time manually wrapped to less than 70 characters in the hope
that it will survive intact:

p VERSION, PLATFORM
#=> "1.8.5"

s1 = "Change 35573 by fred.joomblie@PD133 on 2006/09/26 11:58:21" +

File.open( 'desc.marshal', 'wb+' ){ |f| f << Marshal.dump( s1 ) }

p s2 = Marshal.load( IO.read( 'desc.marshal' ) )

#=> foo.rb:13:in `load': marshal data too short (ArgumentError)
