Right, cloning+reassigning to ruby-debian might make sense. Let's do this :) (And close the original bug since it does fix another problem.) Probably the severity in the cloned bug in ruby-debian shoule be lowered; the problem might not be present if a non-UTF-9 file is not opened as UTF-8 ... Cheers, gregor -- .''`.
