I just had a look through your Gem, and it looks to me like you've been  
hit with an incompatibility between YAML and Ruby 1.8.3. It was discussed  
a bit here recently but I can't find the thread :(

If that does sound like you (on Ruby 1.8.3) then you could try the  
following workaround (I have it in my Rakefile):

   # Quick fix for Ruby 1.8.3 / YAML bug
   if (RUBY_VERSION == '1.8.3')
     def spec.to_yaml
       out = super
       out = '--- ' + out unless out =~ /^---/
       out
     end
   end

Hope that helps,
Ross
