Luis,

Thank you - this actually explains the problem. However, I am not
running with -v, but rather with -w.

This script:

require 'sqlite3'
puts $VERBOSE
db = SQLite3::Database.new( "test.db" )

When run simply as "ruby test.rb" prints "false". When run as "ruby -w
test.rb" prints "true" and the aforementioned warning.

So, the next question is - doesn't everyone run ruby with -w ? If the
answer is positive, can I get rid of that warning anyway?

Thanks in advance,
Eli
