[Rubycocoa-talk] I can get an abort on Bus Error, is this a bug?

[Sam R. <sro...@un...>]

[ensemble] ~/p/ruby/vcard $ irb -r osx/cocoa
irb(main):001:0> OSX::NSString.alloc.initWithCharacters(nil, :length, 2)
/Library/Frameworks/RubyCocoa.framework/Versions/A/Resources/ruby/osx/objc/oc_wrapper.rb:17:
[BUG] Bus Error
ruby 1.6.7 (2002-03-01) [powerpc-darwin6.0]
Abort trap


Normally, I would say this would be a bug... but perhaps its an
architectural thing, and ruby/cocoa simply can't tell that I'm passing
nil to an objective/c message and claiming it's a ucs-2 string!

This was caused by a typo in irb that I made.

Cheers,
Sam
