Mechanize users - Nov 2007 - Hpricot & mechanize fail to parse page after redirect1q

Hi everyone,
My quest with mechanize/Hpricot continues :)
Something extremely strange happened today - some simple working code broke
down, and i can''t figure out why.

I am trying to access a piratebay.org search page, which does a redirect to
a relative url like this:
original link:
http://thepiratebay.org/s/?page=0&orderby=3&q=football+manager+2008&searchTitle=on

redirects to:
/search/football manager 2008/0/3/0

Now, this all worked dandily up till yesterday. The page was redirected
fine, and mechanize even handled the cookie that was sent back from the
site.
But today, i am getting this strange error:
"URI::InvalidURIError: bad URI(is not URI?): /search/football
manager/2008/0/3/0"
Mechanize gives the following message:
"NoMethodError: You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it!
You might have expected an instance of Array.
The error occurred while evaluating nil.last"
 from
C:/Web/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mechanize-0.6.10/lib/mechanize.rb:402:in
`to_absolute_uri''

I have tested this on 2 different machines, and they both break down.
Can someone please give it a go and see if they can figure it out?
I would be very very thankful :)

Thanks,
Ehud

PS - I am using hpricot 0.6, and the redirected page is parsed correctly
when accessed directly.
