Subject: "".split(//,2) different between 1.6 and 1.8

I've just noticed the following.  When using Ruby 1.6, I get the
following String.split behavior:

    irb(main):001:0> "".split(//,2)
    [""]

And when using Ruby 1.8, I get the following instead:

    irb(main):007:0> "".split(//,2)
    => []

Is this intentional?

Thanks,
Aron
