Hi Ilya, Firstly, String#dump isn't a Ferret method. Secondly, I have no idea why this is occuring. The error isn't happening in Ferret code so it is difficult for me to diagnose the problem. I didn't realize that it was this easy to replicate the problem though so I'll have another look at it tonight. Don't get your hopes up though. It isn't only Ferret that is causing this problem so I'm not goig to count out the possibility that the bug is in Ruby of VC6.
