Mr. Hickman.

I ask you friendly to refrain from further off-topic comments and to
take care of your wording.

I do not hide that I had contact with ruby 5 years ago:

http://dev.lazaridis.com/case/wiki/RubyAudit
http://dev.lazaridis.com/case/wiki/CoreLiveEval

That does not change, that my new "first contact" with ruby 1.9 was
frustrating for me (as I didn't expected such an early stage defect).

Additionally, the "first contact" refers to newcomers in general,
which will be most possibly frustrating for most people which use a
different codepage.

I hope that the rest of this community will have the professionalism
to stay in topic, and will focus on the technical discussion, which
affects an existent defect and an entry barrier to ruby 1.9.2.

Has anyone a permanent solution or more information about this issue?
