Sorry, that was very vague. I was hoping that it was something obvious 
about that line.

Will try to reproduce it and file a bug if I can make it concise....

Where should it be finding that constant, RDoc::Markup::ToHtml::HTML, 
anyway? The file markup/to_html.rb doesn't seem to define it, and grep 
doesn't find it:

$ grep -P '(class|module).*HTML' **/*.rb
generator/chm.rb:class RDoc::Generator::CHM < RDoc::Generator::HTML
generator/html/hefss.rb:module RDoc::Generator::HTML::HEFSS
generator/html/html.rb:module RDoc::Generator::HTML::HTML
generator/html/kilmer.rb:module RDoc::Generator::HTML::KILMER
generator/html/one_page_html.rb:module RDoc::Generator::HTML::ONE_PAGE_HTML
generator/html.rb:class RDoc::Generator::HTML
generator/html.rb:class RDoc::Generator::HTMLInOne < RDoc::Generator::HTML
generator/xml.rb:class RDoc::Generator::XML < RDoc::Generator::HTML
markup.rb:# strike-through text.  When then subclass the HTML output 
class to deal
markup/to_flow.rb:    # required. This is a no-op in the base class, but
