This one bit me when my host upgraded Ruby versions without announcing it. My whole admin interface broke on my site. Such are the woes of shared hosting. But thanks for your fix.

The best solution would be to figure out why 'chars' in ruby 1.8.7 returns an Enumerable::Enumerator instead of an ActiveSupport::Multibyte::Chars object and fix it there.
