This morning, after using iconv in a test script to convert ISO-8859-1 web pages to UTF-8, I applied it in rails development. When that failed, I went back to the test script, and (unmodified) it failed too.

Now the following 2 line script

puts $:
require "iconv"

produces this error:

iconv.rb:7:in <top (required)>': uninitialized constant Iconv (NameError) from test.rb:2:in require'
from test.rb:2:in `

'

Meaning iconv is no longer usable.

I have been unable to reproduce this issue today on my system and sincerely apologize. However, I still do not have an explanation for the previous behaviour as I have not made any changes to the relevant files, etc.
