(I thought I sent this earlier but it didn't go through...excuse me if
this is a duplicate).


Our release manager for RubyGems 0.8.0 (me, in fact) somehow didn't
grab all of the 0.8.0-tagged files in CVS when 0.8.0 was released, so
we missed some windows-related bug fixes that were done just prior to
release.

This is the cause of the errors that some Windows users have reported.

So, we give you:  

RubyGems 0.8.1

Get it here:
http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=126
or
$ gem install rubygems-update
$ update_rubygems

Thanks for all of the feedback and testing so far on this release! 
We've already gotten some good patches and a lot of great suggestions!

Keep those gems coming.
