 Priority:  major              |   Milestone:  MacRuby 0.8          
Component:  MacRuby            |    Keywords:  yaml, datetime

 the following YAML snippet

 {{{
 date: 2011-02-21 00:00:00 +01:00
 }}}

 is parsed properly by ruby 1.8.7, and 1.9.2

 {{{
 $ ruby -ryaml -e 'p YAML.load("date: 2011-02-21 00:00:00 +01:00")'
 {"date"=>Mon Feb 21 00:00:00 +0100 2011}
 }}}

 but macruby fails to read it properly failing with a message "argument out
 of range".

 This seem related to this code im YAML.rb

 {{{
   def YAML.load(io)
     parsr = LibYAML::Parser.new(io)
     parsr.load
   end
 }}}

 which seems to indicate the problem lies in the libyaml bindings. Since I
 am currently unable to build macruby from source I can't tell if this is
 still a problem in trunk.

 I encountered this problem trying to install gems packaged on my box with
 GMT+1 timezone, so this may be a relatively widespread issue.
