As a ruby programmer, my gut reaction was that this had something to do with bugs caused by the object id of `nil` being 4. But of course that's not the case :)



You need to upgrade your Ruby version. The object id of `nil` is 8 these days :)


Ha, well they also got rid of `id` on nil altogether, so it stopped being a common bug. (I didn't know that its object id is actually 8 now though, so thanks for the useless-knowledge-nugget.)
