Thanks!  That  was it!   But why should  Sinatra change  its behaviour
between 1.9.2-rc2 -> 1.9.2-p0?  Any ideas?  I would have said that the
*definition* of *-rc*  is "behaviour won't change when  you upgrade to
*-p*".  Something, somewhere is doing it wrong.

Incidentally, the  error message  I get  when I do  not set  the views
directory is very strange; Sinatra says:

                        Errno::ENOENT at /sinatra/index

No such file or directory -
[path to my Sinatra app directory]/<internal:lib/rubygems/views/index.haml

     * file: tilt.rb
     * location: read
     * line: 122

[...]

It looks  as though the template  directory is being  set to something
ridiculous,  which suggests  that setting  it explicitly  is  really a
workaround for a bug.

I'll see what the Sinatra devs say.

Thanks again for your help!
