Thanks, do you mean that "m[0]" in Ruby 1.9 has a different behaviour
than in 1.8? maybe in 1.9 "m[0]" returns the first character (even if
it's more than two bytes as "ñ", "€"...) while in 1.8 it returns just
the firrst two bytes?

PD: I've Ruby 1.9 (2007-12-25 revision 14709) and I don't have
"getbyte()" method for String.

Thanks a lot.
