Subject: URI::merge bug?

Hi all,

I'm not sure whether this is a bug:

irb(main):013:0> a = URI.parse("http://www.example.com/foo/bar?a=b")
=> #<URI::HTTP:0xfdbb6d160 URL:http://www.example.com/foo/bar?a=b>
irb(main):014:0> b = URI.parse("?a=c")
=> #<URI::Generic:0xfdbb6b770 URL:?a=c>
irb(main):015:0> puts a.merge(b).to_s
http://www.example.com/foo/?a=c

I'd expect the last line to be "http://www.example.com/foo/bar?a=c" - it 
seems to lose the last element of the path.  Firefox seems to think do 
what I'm expecting, anyway...  Can someone more au fait with URI RFC's 
comment?
