Not clear how you ran it, but it sounds as if you're still running in 
64-bit mode.

To test the script, I changed the hashbang to '#!/usr/bin/env -i386 
ruby', saved it as 'test.rb', chmodded it to make it executable, and ran 
it as ./test.rb, and it ran fine in 32-bit.

FWIW, I have a TODO on embedding Standard Additions terminology in the 
OSAX module (I've already done this for py-appscript) so that it will 
work on 64-bit as well. I still need to figure out Ruby 1.9's text 
encoding support before I do a new release though.
