Subject: Re: Regex breaks when string contains binary data

Hi Brian,
Output those IRB statements for me is:

>> RUBY_VERSION
=> "1.8.7"
>> RUBY_DESCRIPTION
=> "ruby 1.8.7 (2009-06-12 patchlevel 174) [universal-darwin10.0]"
>> puts "345HI".match(/HI|BYE/).inspect
#<MatchData "HI">
=> nil
>> puts "\345HI".match(/HI|BYE/).inspect
nil
=> nil
>> puts "\345KI".match(/HI|BYE/).inspect
nil
=> nil
>> "\345HI" =~ /HI|BYE/
=> nil
>> "\345HI".bytes.to_a
=> [229, 72, 73]

And I'm not running any dodgy irb plugins, such as wirble.
