757: unexpected token

[guilhermesimoes]

When using the Twitter::Streaming::Client, I get this error when the json gem tries to parse some tweets. As an example, a tweet with the id 404911776141037568 threw this error. However, I can't reproduce it by calling client.status(404911776141037568)with the Twitter::REST::Client. Is there a difference between the way a tweet is parsed with the Streaming and Rest clients?

Stack trace here.

Env	Version
twitter	5.0.0.rc.1
json	1.8.1
Rails	4.0.1
Ruby	2.0.0
OS	Ubuntu 12.04

Any particular reason you’re using version 5.0.0.rc.1 instead of 5.0.0 final? Can you please try to reproduce the issue with the final gem? It would also be helpful to know the patch level of your Ruby version.

Yes and no. The as-yet-unreleased update to buftok (see #484) may resolve this issue. If upgrading to version 5.0.0 doesn’t solve it, can you try to reproduce the issue on master?

No particular reason, actually. I hadn't noticed you had released 5.0.0 final. Guess I should have checked, sorry. I'll upgrade to 5.0.1 (which I think you released today).

As for the Ruby patch level, I'm currently on ruby-2.0.0-p247 but I know that there was a new patch released to address some security concern, so I'll also try to upgrade to that new version.

Please reopen this issue if 5.0.1 doesn’t fix the problem.
