Subject: libruby 1.8.3 yaml bignum issues

Package: libruby1.8
Severity: important
Tags: sid, upstream

hi,

the latest yaml.rb in ruby 1.8.3 has problems dealing with Bignum
Values. Somewhen in september Time.tv_sec values turned Bignum instead
of Fixnum. This, for example, breaks raggle:

 abi@radiohead:~$ raggle
 Raggle: Loading config...
 Raggle: Loading feed list...
 /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/yaml.rb:133:in `transfer': allocator undefined for
 Bignum (TypeError)
        from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/yaml.rb:133:in `load'
        from /usr/bin/raggle:4795:in `load_config'
        from /usr/bin/raggle:5441:in `main'
        from /usr/bin/raggle:6461

bye,
    - michael
