Please be sure to post the relevant code when you are asking for help on
this list. I'll take a guess at what is going on, but it's hard to know if
I'm barking up the right tree without seeing the code.

If I understand the problem correctly, it's that the spec is expecting hash
keys to be in a specific order. In Ruby 1.8, the order of hash keys are not
guaranteed to be in any specific order, whereas in 1.9, AFAIK, they are.

HTH,
David
