Subject: ruby1.9.1 : Override string method


The following script doesn't work...
Do you have any idea of what is wrong?
Is it a ruby bug? (ruby version: ruby 1.9.1p243 (2009-07-16 revision
24175) [i386-darwin9])

require 'time'

Time.parse("1999-10-31 16:46:50") # this works

class String
  alias_method :old_sub!, :sub!
  def sub!(*args, &block)
    old_sub!(*args, &block)
  end
end

Time.parse("1999-10-31 16:46:50") # this crashes

# =>
