I'm working slowly through stuff to get this resolved. In this 
particular case, the source file is question is a tad messy, and it's a 
StringIO replacement that ends up modifying the a method back in the 
YAML module. Because the YAML module isn'y defined at this point, RDoc 
didn't know what to do.

For now, I've changed RDoc to assume that any unknown constant that 
prefixes a method name is a module: we'll see how that works out in 
practice. Longer term, I think I'll refactor the yaml code to use a 
factory and get rid of this issue at the source level.

I'll check this change in later today.


Cheers
