-------------------------------------------------------------- Class: IO
Class +IO+ is the basis for all input and output in Ruby. An I/O
stream may be _duplexed_ (that is, bidirectional), and so may use
more than one native operating system stream.
Many of the examples in this section use class +File+, the only
standard subclass of +IO+. The two classes are closely associated.
As used in this section, _portname_ may take any of the following
forms.

This happens on Win98 as well as XP running the 1-click-installer version 1.8.1-13.

Has anybody else experienced this behaviour?
Strange - I don't have a Window's box with ri installed, but I don't see the behavior here under OSX or Linux. Is it possible you have an old version lying around somewhere? Does anyone else see this?
I see the same exception in my WinXP box. After poking around, I can only guess that Ruby Windows Installer build 13 comes with the broken yaml library which unmarshals Symbol instances as plain strings.
Cheers,
Kent.

I really don't think so; it's a brand new PC and that was the first installation of, well, of everything including the OS, Ruby and everything else.

Me, too. XP Pro, standard ruby 1.8.1 installation. If it matters, I ran ri
under both a DOS command line window and a Cygwin window.
