I have absolutely no idea. Blame google? No... my guess is that it is prolly the gateway... but really I don't know. I never read it that way. Why do you? Are there tangible benefits?

That's because I'm lazy and haven't automated that page yet :)

I just had a bug reported about the gem using PATH to figure out what ruby to invoke... possibly this is related? does `which gem` and `which ruby` resolve to the same install for you? I'd guess not based on the mix of /usr/local/lib and /Library/Ruby in your backtrace.
