Hi,
When using rcov on an up-to-date sid box, I get the following crash:
----------------------8<-------------------------8<---------------------

As discussed in
http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/275177, the problem
is that REXML stopped accepting non-String objects as content.
The following patch against /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rexml/text.rb fixes the problem:

You can see that this change was already applied in upstream's trunk, cf:
http://svn.ruby-lang.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/trunk/lib/rexml/text.rb?r1=14826&r2=15141
It would be nice if this patch could be included in the package.
