IIRC there was a good reason for that change though I can't recall
what it was. I'm sure the mailing list remembers.

If you search for
    #= ==> #hash issues 
 
in the mailing list, I think that thread has the (or a) reason for this change (although the #= change was done by nice, not me).

If you're looking for a fix, try this:
