Hi:

Well, this is not really a bug; but being so easily to avoid this
warning I thought I could send this report.

Using this script:

###############
#!/usr/local/bin/ruby -w

require 'freedb'

begin
    f = Freedb.new
ensure
    f.close
end

# Fin de Fichero
###############

I get this warning:

../lib/freedb.rb:355: warning: instance variable @handler not initialized

To avoid it, the @handler variable should be initialized in
Freedb.initialize

I append a tiny patch against ruby-freedb-0.5 just to show how I avoided
it.

Regards,
