Gentoo finally released what they’re calling a “stable” version of  
ruby 1.8.6 p237, but they’re calling it version 1.8.6\_p237-r1. The  
last I heard, p237 broke parts of rails. Is this still the case?

IIRC the next decent patch level is 287. Gentoo may have backported  
some of the fixed though.
