Hi all, I think I solved the problem. At least for my actual errors... I read the following net article about string coding in ruby 1.9 and up: http://blog.grayproductions.net/articles/ruby_19s_string With that info at hand, I made two brute-force trial patches (read the above article

Hi Hans, The patch I proposed works also with ruby less than 1.9 (e.g. ruby 1.8.7)! The force_encoding() method is used only if RUBY_VERSION = 1.9. If the scripts are executed by ruby 1.8 or lesser version, there's no change done to the current line of code (e.g. 'case line.chomp' ). Also, I
