It took less time than I thought to bring it down to a simple,
reproducible, moderately sanitized case:
Bah…this time manually wrapped to less than 70 characters in the hope
that it will survive intact:
p VERSION, PLATFORM
#=> “1.8.5”
#=> “i386-mswin32”
s1 = “Change 35573 by fred.joomblie@PD133 on 2006/09/26 11:58:21” +
“\n\n\tClear scene method to empty the XXXX display on File” +
“->New\n\nAffected files …\n\n… //Dev03/Main/AnarkCore/” +

File.open( ‘desc.marshal’, ‘wb+’ ){ |f| f << Marshal.dump( s1 ) }
p s2 = Marshal.load( IO.read( ‘desc.marshal’ ) )
#=> foo.rb:13:in `load’: marshal data too short (ArgumentError)
