using node 0.3.0, tests fail right, left and center about node-redis

[mranney]

node_redis has always returned buffer objects, even though it seems that most people don't put binary data into Redis.

The next major release of node_redis will probably have an option to return strings if you like. It should be faster that way as well.

I can't reproduce any test failures with node 0.3.0 or any other versions of node. I run the tests like this:

Can you give me more information on the failing tests? Nobody else has reported this, but I'd like to make sure that there isn't a code issue here.

The latest version of node_redis returns JavaScript String objects by default.
