Description

Getting the following error message for this line:

lib/drb/drb.rb:1119:in `<class:DRbObject>': undefined method `to_s' for class `DRb::DRbObject' (NameError)

I suggest doing the same that is done in the line below, and have:

    undef :to_s if respond_to?(:to_s)
    undef :to_a if respond_to?(:to_a)

Research direction

Start at lib/drb/drb.rb line 1119 and compare the failing to_s declaration with the to_a declaration on the following line. Reproduce the reported NameError and verify that the DRb::DRbObject class loads without it while preserving the existing to_a behavior.
