Hi,

While running cucumber tests on shoes with ruby-1.9.3-p0 (on rvm on linux
on 32 bit x86),
I may have hit a ruby bug:


/home/peterv/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p0/gems/json-1.6.3/lib/json/common.rb:66:
[BUG] unknown type 0x22 (0xc given)
  ruby 1.9.3p0 (2011-10-30 revision 33570) [i686-linux]
  ...
  You may have encountered a bug in the Ruby interpreter or extension
libraries.
  Bug reports are welcome.
  For details: http://www.ruby-lang.org/bugreport.html

Details here

  https://gist.github.com/1539736

I retested on ruby-head (with `rvm install ruby-1.9.3-head`)

  ruby -v #=> ruby 1.9.3p6 (2011-12-30 revision 34159) [i686-linux]

and the bug was not longer triggered.

I wanted to report this bug in the 1.9.3 backport

  http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/projects/ruby-193

but was greeted by:

  "Don't report issues here."

So, what is the correct approach I should take?

I am waiting to propose a pull request for shoes to upgrade to ruby 1.9.3
until this issue is fixed.

I read the "How to report bugs in Ruby" on

  http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/projects/ruby/wiki/HowToReport

but I did not see how I should handle this case. This line is closest to
my case:

  If you're reporting a bug in Ruby 1.9 ONLY: [[Ruby 1.9:]]

but I do not understand exactly from it what I should do now.

Thanks,

Peter
