Subject: rdoc chokes...

Dave and/or whomever,

This is not a formal bug report, since
someone may well tell me to upgrade my
Ruby or rdoc or both.  :)

The rdoc is:
RDoc Vbeta-1: 2002/03/30 16:28:47 (1.60)

On Win98, using Ruby 1.6.6 (mswin32), I
run this little example through rdoc
(I've trimmed it to its essentials).

  require "gdbm"

  class GDBM

    alias old_assign []=

    def []=(index,obj)
      old_assign(index,obj.to_s)
    end

  end

The problem is apparently somehow related
to the left bracket.

What it tells me is this:

tryme.rb: c.C:/RUBY166/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.6/rdoc/parse.rb:1678:in
