Subject: super w/ implicit arguments in Ruby 1.9

Hi--

Debugging a library for 1.9.1 compatibility. I get this error:

  6) Error:
  test_02_002(TC_Inheritor_02):
  RuntimeError: implicit argument passing of super from method defined
     by define_method() is not supported. Specify all arguments
explicitly.

The offending code is:

      define_method( key ) do
        defined?(super) ? super.__send__(op,obj) : obj.dup
      end

So I'm confused since I am not calling super without arguments, though
I am asking if it is defined. But #defined? works in a special way so
as not to actually invoke it's argument, right? Or is it something to
with __send__? What is amiss here?

Thanks.
