Subject: Bug in yaml-0.49.2

Hi just installed yaml-0.49.2 and ran the test and got the following
error. It is due to Ruby 1.8.0 not accepting .10 as a number. Instead
it wants to see 0.10.

I posted earlier on this. I'm not sure why Ruby was changed, but
this will have an impact on yaml's type conversion.
