RMagick && Pathname

[Charles Comstock]

I don't know who wide spread this is in RMagick, but isn't Pathname supposed to
act like a string or File? Got this error below when I tried to use a pathname
as a parameter to ImageList.new. Is Pathname missing a to_str or something like that
or is RMagick being to strict about checking types? Easy fix to use
pathname.to_s for the arg to work, but I figured someone might like to know.

It's a deficiency in RMagick, which is checking explicitly for either a
T_STRING or a T_FILE. I'll open a bug for it and fix it in the next
release. Thanks for letting me know.
