Subject: Range oddness ?

Hi all,
  I'm trying to implement simple range check for my admin module ...
and I found strange thing/behaviour:

$ ruby -e 'p Range.new(1,4).type'
Range
$ ruby -e 'p (1..4).type'
1..4

Well, what's wrong with the latter?

The 'real' problem for me is that:

``

UID_RNG = (99..65000)

raise ArgumentError, "UID #{uid} out of allowed range" \
  unless UID_RNG.include?(uid)

''

raises exception for 'uid = 997'

Thanks in advance,
                          W.

PS:

$ ruby -v
ruby 1.6.7 (2002-06-30) [i686-linux]
