<p>Thanks Jim, I have a test program that I run in windows with all the spec
against ruby and against IR. It then compare the results and there is where I
found this problem. yes, you are correct with your change. I think we can go
with the change suggested.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>By the way, did anyone compiled Ironruby on Mono? I finally got the mono
installed and would like to try to compile it to run the spec on Mac this
week. Do you guys consider Mac as *nix environment?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
