This was fixed in r37288.

It might be worth backporting the fix to 1.9.3. Thoughts tenderlove?

Ya, I can submit a backport ticket. I need to figure out which commits
should go in to a bugfix release of psych. The alternative is just to
release a new version of the gem, and we don't need to backport
anything.

The problem with that approach is on a new patchlevel release the user
will get "downgraded" to a previous version of the gem, where the
problem exists.

Good point. I'll figure out the appropriate backport requests. :-)
