Ruby guys: raggle is just an easy way to reproduce the problem. Run it once to
create your ~/.raggle/* files, run it again, bam!

I have been using the suggested patch since 1.8.4_pre1 without any problem and
had hoped it would be in _pre2. It isn't yet.
I've only tested it against 1.8.4

Has been unfixed in 1.8.4.
Previously submitted patch can still be used.
