in minitest-1.3.0/lib/minitest/unit.rb: 43

s = s.force_encoding(Encoding.default_external) if defined? Encoding

minitest called Encoding.default_external if
Encoding was defined, but if hpricot was required,
and character-encodings was installed, Encoding
would be defined even if there's no default_external.

My tests failed because there's no default_external in
Encoding.

Sorry for the noise if this was not an issue in trunk,
or you do think it should be fixed in character-encodings.

Thanks anyway.
