Try using mode "rb" so the line-endings are handled by CSV rather than  
the OS.

You can also pass a :headers => true on the open

reader = CSV.open("C:tmp/document.csv", "rb", :headers => true)

And even better for your example, use the .foreach method:

CSV.foreach("C:tmp/document.csv", "rb", :headers => true) do |row|
   puts row
end

Aha! The CSV code in 1.9 is what was in the FasterCSV from earlier  
versions. (gem install fastercsv)

It's entirely possible that the error is from OO, but the use of the  
"rb" mode might solve the problem, too. (In which case, the blame is  
moot.)
