Before reporting this, could you check that the file you’re documenting  
compiles cleanly–RDoc is not a full Ruby parser, and gets confused  
easily if  
fed invalid programs.

The internal error was:

/home/daigo/cprojects/org/ruby\_1\_9/lib/rdoc/parser/ruby.rb:2049:in  
`parse_meta_method': undefined method `top\_level’ for
