Thanks for the hint. Finally I manged to work around the incompatibility.

Defining NilClass#method_missing for nothing is not too clever, for a
large scale libary IMO.

By adding

    module Test  # This is my Camping app - not the test/unit test
thing (just a reminder)
      class Mab
        def tag!(*g,&b)
          super
        end
      end
    end

the problem is solved. Since I'm not changing any behaviour the code
should not have unwanted side effects. Perhaps this gives you an idea,
where the real cause of the problem is. At least I've got a solution
now.

Thanks for the help

Cheers,

Gregor
