Zero-length files did it but a bunch of others did too. I threw a begin-rescue around that block and printed out all the gems I get exceptions from. Perhaps it's the place I rsync'ed from? I did the following:
rsync -av rsync://rubyforge.lauschmusik.de/gems/ . I'm on ubuntu dapper using ruby 1.8.4. I've rsync'ed a couple times and had the same results.
