 "undefined method 'html_parser' for nil:NilClass"

 Please see the attached text. It shows the mechanize gem working under Irb
 in Ruby 1.9.2, and the same failing under MacIrb from MacRuby 0.10. The
 gems in the 2 environments are identical.

 I don't think the problem is what dekiefer (#1182) thought it is.

 In the uploaded text you can clearly see that Mechanize.new() is not
 working properly under MacRuby. An instance does appear to get created,
 but it is not properly initialized. In contrast, under 1.9.2, you can see
 that the mechanize object is fully populated with attributes, including
 "@html_parser".

 This also happens in the situation mentioned in ticket #1182, but I don't
 think anybody noticed. I doubt it has anything at all to do with
 prettyprint.

 Regardless: I have no idea why the mechanize object is not getting
 properly initialized in MacRuby. This is a blocking issue for me. I have a
 project that must go forward and this is stopping me. Any advice on how to
 patch this problem would be appreciated, as it is urgent.

 I should also mention that the same error occurs under XCode, but that
 should not be a big surprise because it's using the same MacRuby.
