John, and others, After 32 iterations: I give up, this Ruby version is too strong for me, how healthy its internal state!
The new package also reports "ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24) [i386-mswin32]", so I have to be more precise: "1.8.4-16 preview 3" was behaving badly, the just installed "1.8.4-17 release candidate 2" works fine, until now. A first impression of course, but I'm rather confident at this moment. Thanks, Meindert Meindertsma.
