Subject: Re: respond_to? in mod_ruby

We seem to get different results. 

[~]$ ruby -version
ruby 1.6.8 (2002-12-24) [i386-linux]

irb(main):001:0> def blah
irb(main):002:1> end
=> nil
irb(main):003:0> p respond_to? "blah"
true
=> nil


After doing a p private_methods, every single method in my 
mod_ruby scripts show up as private, even though non have been declared
as such. Is this a safety feature of mod_ruby?
