Subject: accessing character code in Ruby 1.9.1

Hi all,

I read from to the docs[1] that string[index] should do the
following:  "If passed a single Fixnum, returns the code of the
character at that position."

This is working as documented with Ruby 1.8.6, but it isn't with Ruby
1.9.1p129 (on my WinXP machine).  Why is this so?

Thanks for any hints
Thomas W.
