Sorry, wasn't meaning to be cryptic.  It was an error I encountered in
several gem packages I was attempting to test out in the 1.9
environment, so I was just seeking a general explanation of what the
error meant.

Installing the Ruby 1.9.1.p0 release that was just announced fixed it
and I've since wiped out RC2 (before seeing this request for more
info).

I have yet to see the message again in 1.9.1.p0.  If I do encounter,
will definitely update this thread with more info.  At any rate, great
work on getting 1.9.1 final released.
