This happens to be a bug in the relativity gem. I did a little
debugging (this bug was such a huge pain) and found that the problem has
to do with Ruby 1.9.2.

In Ruby 1.9.2, BigDecimal raises an error when you pass to it an Integer
(including Fixnum and Bignum). Relativity contains the following code:
BigDecimal.new(nn) where nn is a Fixnum. A workaround for this is
to interpolate nn in a string as so: BigDecimal.new("#{nn}").

In the mean time, I would just use Ruby 1.9.3 (new features and it works
:D) as BigDecimal works according to the documentation.

Also, don’t worry about filing a bug report with the developer. I’m
going to fix the code and do a pull request on GitHub.
