I reported some issues here in c.l.r. I remember that I had the problem 
that RDoc 'tried' to parse non Ruby files, too - log files, texts 
whatever I happened to have in the directory I called RDoc from.
As I love the GraphViz diagrams being included I usually run RDoc with 
'-d', which in the 1.8.1-11 doesn't terminate (well at least not within 
my patience range).


I just made the step back to 1.8.0 with wich works for me...

Happy Rubying!
