Exceptions using writeexcel 0.6.0 with rails 2.3.8

[drsound]

Lots of exceptions are generated using writeexcel 0.6.0 with rails 2.3.8. Here is a test case for rails 2.3.8:

1. create a fresh rails application with "rails my_test_app"
2. add writeexcel gem to config/environment.rb
3. enter rails console with 'script/console'
4. use these simple instructions:
   a) workbook = WriteExcel.new('/tmp/test.xls')
   b) worksheet = workbook.add_worksheet
   c) worksheet.write(0, 0, 'test')
5. You get the first exception
   --- EXCEPTION BEGIN ---

append
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/writeexcel-0.6.0/lib/writeexcel/worksheet.rb:2756 in store_with_compatibility
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/writeexcel-0.6.0/lib/writeexcel/worksheet.rb:2747 in write_string
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/writeexcel-0.6.0/lib/writeexcel/worksheet.rb:2584 in write
/home/drsound/scambio/test/writeexcel_test2/(irb):4 in irb_binding
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/irb/workspace.rb:52 in irb_binding
FD 00 0A 00 00 00 00 00 0F 00 00 00 00 00

=> 0

--- EXCEPTION END ---

6. If you try "workbook.close", you will get one million exceptions more!

No problems at all if I use the same instructions within rails 3.0.1 or a plain ruby program.

thank you for your comment.

those are output for debug, displayed when $debug is defined.

Rails ./script/console under development mode sets $debug, so i chenged writeexcel's debug flag.

wirteexcel-0.6.1.gem has been uploaded. please use this version.
