 This is because 1.6.6 use another rule :-)

 With 1.6.6, ruby use the current class : if this class is a singleton class
 then it retrieve the class associated with it and define the class
 variable in this class

 This is because you have a bug in your code :-)

M> puts "--- A ---"
M> class A
M>    class << self
M>       @@a = 12
M>    end
M>    p @@a
