Got a slight issue with a rails plugin I wrote. when I updated to gems  
0.9.2, there is some combination of what is happening in rails and gems  
that is slightly changing what my array#pack(‘c’) it returning. I  
haven’t quite dug deep into this yet, but the plugin that I wrote works  
with binary data, when I introduce gems 0.9.2 with rails 1.2.3 I get  
problems with the plugin. As soon as I go back to 0.9.0 I’m fine. What  
could be going on with rails&gems that would cause such an issue? I’ve  
also verified that the plugin core works fine with gems 0.9.2 if not  
running in rails. What gem depenancies could be causing this? Any help?
