Well, 1.9 is currently in a test, non-stable release.  I monitor the  
changes to the language and it's still a moving target at this point  
for sure.

The first production release is expected this Christmas, so we still  
have a solid seven months before it's in most people's hands.  I'm  
sure that's the time when I personally would address compatibility  
issues for TextMate.

If you don't want to wait that long, we take patches.  :)

The problem you show seems to be an encoding issue triggered by the  
fact that we have some UTF-8 in the Exception printing code.  This  
upsets Ruby's new m17n implementation, which is the biggest new thing  
most Ruby's will need to adjust to.  Give us a little more time to get  
up to speed on all of the new toys please.  :)
