ERB comments in Ruby 1.8.7
After upgrading a server to Ubuntu Intrepid I found that the Rails site's layouts broke. The problem is this issue resulting from a ERB code change in Ruby 1.8.7: if you put a # Ruby comment in a one-line <% %> block, all the content up to the next %> that's on a subsequent line is ignored.
