BBEdit exists on the system in /Applications/BBEdit.app. The error also occurs when using the full /Applications/BBEdit.app
path. I could not replicate this error with any other application.

I am currently using SVN revision 96, latest as of this post.

Fixed in r105.

So, BBEdit has another bug, but this is not linked to the fact
that its sdef has non-ASCII characters. This is valid and RubyOSA
doesn't properly handle it.

So, there are 2 bugs, one for RubyOSA and one for BBEdit :) I
just updated the title for more clarity.

Yeah, in fact I could manage to load the BBEdit's sdef as well,
but the problem here is about non-ASCII characters used for method
codes. For example the "run unix script" command, which
I can't manage to get work using AppleScript.

FWIW, the Rb-AppScript project loads the sdef for BBEdit seemingly
well enough. However, I can't seem to get the file object for
a document using that, so maybe the issue is around there?

The BBEdit's sdef is very suspect, it contains non-ASCII character
for apple event codes (that at total are > 4 bytes). Eventually
they name some constants with non-ASCII character that makes
RubyOSA failing.

I wonder if it works even in AppleScript. Trying to run the "run
unix script" command always returns me an error inside
AppleScript.
