Subject: irb completion bug

Hi:

I noticed an error with 173 and completion.
Typing

  Fixnum.<tab>

in irb gives the following message:

 irb
irb(main):001:0> Fixnum.(eval):1: warning: Object#type is deprecated;
use Object#class

irb(main):002:0* 

I changed line 125 of completion.rb to get rid of the Object#type
message.

This fix works for FreeBSD, but the Mac still aborts due to
a NULL pointer.

Anyone know why this is. My readline is new (4.3).
