Hello.

Yesterday morning, I ran a "gem update" on my old Debian box (try to keep it updated daily with apt-get) and then saw this error including today, and it also broke my Rbot installation for IRC (http://ruby-rbot.org/ ):

    This one was buried in our spam filter, just unearthed it. Sorry.

    Is this still happening with the latest version of RubyGems?
