These are warnins not errors.  They are harmless - I redefine a bunch
of methods in the File class.

This one is strange, since @directory *is* initialized. But, I doubt
it's the source of your problem

None of this helps me, however.  You still haven't told me exactly what
line specifically is failing.  With or without win32/file, you are
going to get nil for File.size?("C:\\temp") or File.size?("."), since
they are directories.  It must be something else.
