Every time I try to push my new gem to gemcutter, I get HTML output containing the problem:

Server error.

No Stairway, denied!

      <p>Looks like something blew up on our end. We've been alerted of the problem, but feel free to open up an <a href="http://help.rubygems.org">issue</a> if you want it fixed faster.</p>

This happens under both Windows XP and Linux (Ubuntu 9.10) using the latest rubygems (1.3.6) and the latest gemcutter (0.5.0).

   In case it matters, the project was generated using newgem. Configuration is managed by hoe, which was the default, version 2.5.0. It also makes use of rspec and cucumber. It lists actionpack >= 2.3.5, activesupport >= 2.3.5 and hpricot >= 0.8.2 as runtime dependencies, and cucumber >= 0.6.2, rspec >= 1.3.0 and rcov >= 0.9.8 as development dependencies. I'm using Ruby v1.8.7 p248.

   This issue may be related to:

   http://help.rubygems.org/discussions/problems/96-getting-500-error-...

   I don't have a workaround, however. I'm stuck on 1.8.7 for the foreseeable future. It should be noted that I've released 2 gems using 1.8.7 in the past, the more recent of which was on January 29, 2010. So something has changed since then.

   If it comes down to a missing gem, I don't know what to look for. Here's my current gem env and list:

   Hey there,

   Can you paste the output of gem spec your-built-gem-that-fails.gem ?

   So I'm seeing something strange in the description here:

   description: "A Ruby library for interfacing with all aspects of the EVE Online MMO. It is designed for use within
    a Ruby on Rails project, but does not require Rails as a dependency. That means there\x91s nothing preventing you
    from writing a stand-alone application or script using this library."
   

   Can you remove the \x91? I'm not sure yet why Gemcutter is barfing with that character but that might be it.

   Not sure where \x91 came from, but that was the problem. All is fine, now.

   Thanks!
