String#b is supposed to make a copy of a string and set its encoding to ASCII-8BIT. As an optimization, JRuby uses a cheap dup operation that causes the new string to share the original's backing store. The problem is any changes made to the new string's encoding are shared with the source string.

Example:

$ ruby -v
ruby 2.1.2p95 (2014-05-08 revision 45877) [x86_64-linux]

$ ruby -e "s = 'x'; p s.encoding.name; p s.b.encoding.name; p s.encoding.name"
"UTF-8"
"ASCII-8BIT"
"UTF-8"

$ JRUBY_OPTS="" bin/jruby -v
jruby 9.0.0.0-SNAPSHOT (2.2.0p0) 2014-12-18 766148d Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 24.72-b04 on 1.7.0_72-b14 +jit [linux-amd64]

$ JRUBY_OPTS="" bin/jruby -e "s = 'x'; p s.encoding.name; p s.b.encoding.name; p s.encoding.name"
"UTF-8"
"ASCII-8BIT"
"ASCII-8BIT"

Doing a full dupe should be sufficient to fix the problem.

I guess I didn't format to whatever Github's new rules are. Fixed in master as 4e40732 and on 1.7 as bee9d02.

While my fix passes specs in 1.7, it causes failures is master that I need to track down.

@nirvdrum I am closing this so it shows up in 1.7.19 commits fixed. Can you open up followup on whatever is still wrong on master?
