Subject: String length/concat problems in Ruby 1.8.0?

Has anyone run into Ruby string length/concatenation problems in
 Ruby 1.8.0?   One of my associates encountered difficulties when
storing the output of a program into  a  string.   The program outputs
only text so there are no issues concerning binary characters causing
the mess-up.
