[MacRuby-devel] String#sub/gsub and text encodings

[Laurent Sansonetti]

If the script works different in CRuby 1.9, then a ticket will be helpful too, as it is likely something we need to fix. I don't know by heart if it's a well-known issue, but we will figure it out later. Filling dups is always a good idea as it helps up prioritizing work.

Thanks,
Laurent
