Mongrel dies with variable as first word in string

Gibberish:

In the lang.yml file if I have a line like:

message: {named} person

Then mongrel dies a death with the attached output (mongrel.txt).

However if I change the above line to

message: a {named} person

Then it works fine, I am assuming having an interpolated variable first

is causing some troubles. Then again I am not a rails expert and may be

missing something.

Running latest version of mongrel, edge rails (7837) and the latest

released version of Gibberish.
