Why doesn't this code using the ruby-mbox gem parse mbox files?

I installed ruby-mbox by doing gem install ruby-mbox
Running this:
#!/usr/bin/ruby
require 'rubygems'
require 'mbox'
m = IO.read('test.eml')
puts m.size
m = Mbox.new(m)
puts m
produces this:
71309505
/Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/ruby-mbox-0.0.2/lib/mbox/mbox.rb:45:in `initialize': uninitialized constant Mbox::StringIO (NameError)
from r.rb:7:in `new'
from r.rb:7
I have proved that "m" is assigned a string containing the contents of the file, just before Mbox.new(m) is called.
It looks as though the Mbox::StringIO should have been defined by hasn't been.
What's going wrong here?
