I also have a question related to german keyboards_ Why does irb
terminate without any further message when I include some german
umlauts (öäüÖÄÜß) which are _not_ in quotes?
I couldn't reproduce (*), and then I realized I have RUBYOPT=-Ku.
unsetting RUBYOPT made irb behave as you describe.
(*) the output being:
NameError: undefined local variable or method `ä' for main:Object
from (irb):1

Every program has at least one bug and can be shortened by at least one
instruction -- from which, by induction, one can deduce that every
program can be reduced to one instruction which doesn't work.
