Already initialized constant in Rails 2.3.4

In Rails 2.3.4 I have the following error on my production machine, ruby 1.8.7 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 72) [i486-linux], but not on my development machine, ruby 1.8.6 (2009-06-08 patchlevel 369) [i586-linux]. There are other differences (Debian 5.0 vs. OpenSuSE 10.3). Any suggestions on whether to ignore the warning or how to fix the problem?

# script/console Loading development environment (Rails 2.3.4) /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.3.4/lib/active_record/associations.rb:42: warning: already initialized constant HasManyThroughCantAssociateThroughHasManyReflection

TIA,   Jeffrey

I worked around the problem by applying the patches to 2.3.3.

wasn't the patches to 2.3.3 applied via 2.3.4 ??

Yes, and apparently other changes. Applying the patches to 2.3.3 works for me. 2.3.4 throws the warning in the original post. All my automated tests pass, but I am still nervous about running w/ a warning I don't understand. Hence the test of a patched 2.3.3. Works for me.

I'm seeing the same warning, also with Ruby 1.8.7 .
