[ruby-talk:6002] ruby-mode.el bug?

Hi,

I'm using ruby-mode.el rev 1.22, it seems to be the latest version
since it's dated 2000/10/11... Anyway, when I write a regular
expression containing '/', such as

   java_comment = /\s*\/\*/

the font colors are "inverted" from that point on, i e everything
outside quotes has the quote color (beige or whatever), and
incidental keywords and "pseudo-syntax" within quotes are 
highlighted... My workaround right now is to add the line

   # /

to "fool" ruby-mode and get back to normal... It's not a pretty
solution, though, and my e-lisp skills are less than sufficient to
fix it myself ;-)

Any takers?

I'm using GNU Emacs 20.7.1 (i386) by the way, _not_ xemacs...
(whatever difference that could possibly make?)

Thanks in advance,

   Niklas
