Subject: irb bug with $SAFE?

I was just playing with $SAFE in irb and it said "Maybe IRB bug!!" at
the end. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? I'm trying to learn
how $SAFE works by experimenting. Should I just do this in "ruby"
instead of "irb" instead?

[shoujoai@lina rb]$ irb
irb(main):001:0> $SAFE

irb(main):002:0> $SAFE = 1

irb(main):003:0> $SAFE = 2

irb(main):004:0> $SAFE = 3
