I have created an inherited TestCase object.  When running the TestSuite with -n /Regexp/ Ruby pukes.  
The error:
f:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/test/unit/autorunner.rb:132:in `=~': cannot convert Symbol
into String (TypeError)
        from f:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/test/unit/autorunner.rb:134:in `options'

        from f:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/test/unit.rb:285
        from f:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/test/unit.rb:283


The actual Code is:
autorunner.rb: line 132 
  Was:  @filters << proc{|t| n =~ t.method_name ? true : nil}
  Changed: @filters << proc{|t| n =~ t.method_name.to_s ? true : nil}

When I would run the thing, I found that the default_test method, which I am consequently refusing to run but overwriting
my class, it would return a Class type of "Symbol".  By putting in the .to_s method call, the system is then
able to compensate appropriately.

I hope this makes sense.

My Inherited class overwrites the Run method with the following:
  def run(*args) #:nodoc:
    return if @method_name.to_s == "default_test"
    super
  end  

I do this so that I can exclude the default_test object from my class.

Thanks for a great product!

the standard way of doing this is a much simpler:

undef_method :default_test

Please provide a minimally reproducible test case.
