[Eric] Eric Debugger and Ruby-1.9

[Nandhu MJS]

Hi Detlev

Forgot to mention in my previous mail.  The support requiring $KCODE
and jcode.rb in ruby 1.8 ( I was using ruby-1.8.6 ) is built into
ruby-1.9 and hence specific call/reference is no longer required.
Sorry about the oversight

Regards
Nandhu
