Using 1.9.2: when i connect netcat, i keep getting an exception:

undefined method external_encoding' for nil:NilClass /Users/rahul/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-head/lib/ruby/1.9.1/irb/input-method.rb:70:inencoding'

However, when i run in 1.8.7, it works.
Could someone look into how to fix this for 1.9.x
(I am on OSX Snow Leopard)
Thanks, rkumar
