Bug #1565: iconv self-destructed
http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/1565

Author: Mark Eriksen
Status: Open, Priority: Normal
ruby -v: 1.9.1-p129

This morning, after using iconv in a test script to convert ISO-8859-1 web pages to UTF-8, I applied it in rails development.  When that failed, I went back to the test script, and (unmodified) it failed too.

Now the following 2 line script

puts $:
require "iconv"

produces this error:

iconv.rb:7:in `<top (required)>': uninitialized constant Iconv (NameError)
	from test.rb:2:in `require'
	from test.rb:2:in `<main>'

Meaning iconv is no longer usable.
