With the patch, I do not. Works for me as well. Since I don't speak any ruby I'm a bit hesitant to upload; maybe some ruby speaker knowing Encoding.default_external can confirm that's the correct way forwards? (And: Are we sure all doc-base files are us-ascii or utf-8 encoded? At least on my machine they are, so maybe that's a non-concern.) Cheers, gregor -- .''`.
