Description

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

CHUNK_SIZE = 29            # no problems with CHUNK_SIZE = 28

File.open(__FILE__,'r') do |f|
  d0 = ''
  a = []

  f.read(CHUNK_SIZE, d0)
  a << d0[15..-2]
  a << d0[5..-2]
  a << d0[-5..-2]
  a << d0[15..-1]
  a << d0[5..-1]           # <-- only this string will change
  a << d0[-5..-1]
  p a
  f.read(CHUNK_SIZE, d0)   # <-- 2nd read
  p a
end

output on ruby 1.9.3p448: (all strings are similar before and after 2nd read)

["ruby\n\nCHUNK_S", "r/bin/env ruby\n\nCHUNK_S", "NK_S", "ruby\n\nCHUNK_SI", "r/bin/env ruby\n\nCHUNK_SI", "NK_SI"]
["ruby\n\nCHUNK_S", "r/bin/env ruby\n\nCHUNK_S", "NK_S", "ruby\n\nCHUNK_SI", "r/bin/env ruby\n\nCHUNK_SI", "NK_SI"]

output on ruby 2.0.0p481, 2.0.0p353, 2.0.0p247: (5th string changed unexpectedly!)

["ruby\n\nCHUNK_S", "r/bin/env ruby\n\nCHUNK_S", "NK_S", "ruby\n\nCHUNK_SI", "r/bin/env ruby\n\nCHUNK_SI", "NK_SI"]
["ruby\n\nCHUNK_S", "r/bin/env ruby\n\nCHUNK_S", "NK_S", "ruby\n\nCHUNK_SI", "29\n\nFile.open(__FILE__,'", "NK_SI"]
