Hello!

I'll be short:
xm@ns:~$ ruby -v
ruby 1.7.1 (2001-07-03) [i686-linux]
xm@ns:~$ ruby -e "p 'qwe' << 768"
<hang> ;))

It seems that it tries to append specified character (and it does if it is <256), but in other case it hangs.
Also it seems that it allocates memory for something, because if GC is disabled, it quickly eats about 40 megs per second (on my 1.1
Ghz Athlon).
