Now, using ruby cygwin port
>ruby --version
ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24) [i386-cygwin]
And the test works fine. I get true for both cases. I do not know what
went wrong with the one-click installer. I asked on the ruby mailing
list, and others with one-click installer did not have this problem.
Must be due some wierd setting on my system. :(
