Hello,

I’m running on Snow Leopard, Ruby 1.9.1-p429 and i’m using the Redis  
2.0.5 gem. Now when I’m running this line on OS X: redis.keys("_") it  
fails, when I run it on Linux, it works! on OS X, I’m getting the  
following error: ruby/1.9.1/gems/redis-2.0.5/lib/redis.rb:610:in  
`split’: invalid byte sequence in UTF-8 (ArgumentError). Anyone else had  
this issue? I tried force encoding the "_" string to UTF-8 and it still  
fails.

My linux server is running the same versions of Ruby and the gem as  
well.
