Ruby v1.91 won't match literal plus sign

[Paul Taylor]

text = "++"
puts "matched plus sign" if text.index(/\+\+/, 0)

Prints nothing. Using Regex.quote produces the same behavior.

A forum registration quiz, "puts (('11' * 2).to_i)/2" also prints
nothing but v1.86 prints 555.

1.9.1 and 1.9.2 both work fine. Perhaps you have a particular bug in
the exact version you have. What does your `ruby -v` say?

Works fine with ruby-1.9.1p378 on a Mac
