Subject: Error in REXML

Can anyone confirm this? :

$ ruby -v
ruby 1.8.0 (2003-08-04) [sparc-solaris2.8]
$  ruby -rrexml/document -e ""
/home3/dcarrera/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rexml/doctype.rb:178: warning: 
regexp has `]' without escape


Indeed, if you look at the source, line 178 has:
-----------
begin
   ...
    source.match(/\s*]\s*>/um, true)   <--------
                 ^^^^^^^^^
rescue ParseException
-----------

That doesn't look right to me.  On the other hand, I did have rexml 
working before I reinstalled Ruby, and if this were a but it would have 
been noticed.

Can anyone shed any light on this?  Is this line correct? (it must be).
If so, does anyone know what might be wrong with my system?

Cheers,
