These are fixed in Syck CVS.  I will make another release soon if there
is a demand.

I hear Iain Truskett is working on a Syck Perl extension.  I think
YAML.pm is okay, though you will probably wrestle with compatibility
between YAML.pm and Syck since I coded against the very latest
specification.

So until my lower abdominal arms begin to appear, I'm afraid there's a
bit of a wait.  You may also consider using YAML.rb 0.49.2 with YAML.pm,
as they may talk friendlier.
