Subject: IO.readlines bug? (1.6.8 vs 1.8.1)

Hi all,

Ruby 1.6.8 (32 bit) / 1.8.1 (64 bit) on Solaris 9

If I have a file with a single line of data in it, but no newline, I get
different return values:

Let's say foo.pid contains "12345" (no newline).

> VERSION
=> "1.6.8"
irb(main):002:0> IO.readlines("foo.pid")
=> ["12345"]


irb(main):001:0> VERSION
=> "1.8.1"
irb(main):002:0> IO.readlines("foo.pid")
=> []

This a bug?

Regards,

Dan
