Summary: Gem::Specification.hash can cause to_yaml RangeError

Initial Comment:
Array.hash for objects do not produce a Fixnum hash will blow up. 
Gem::Specification often produces a Bignum and this prevents an array of 
specifications from being converted to YAML.

This issue (which is really a ruby issue) will be fixed in a future release but 
I thought you might like to know in case you wanted to patch RubyGems for 
versions prior to the fix.

Ok, great.  I'll work a little something up when I get a
free minute.

@eric

A framework I'm working on (http://tap.rubyforge.org)
discovers resources within gems and my environment ends up
referencing an array of specs.  At some point I dumped the
environment and found the error.  Honestly, it's just
something I stumbled on.  I don't actually have a specific
need to convert the specs to YAML.

Message:
Why are you converting specs to YAML in the first place?

Message:
This looks reasonable and is reproducible, but I'm not sure what is dependent 
upon the current implementation of hash.  Maybe someone else can weigh in...

Regardless, can you please submit this as a proper patch, with your failing 
tests added to the appropriate file (test_gem_specification.rb) - and, of 
course, ensure nothing else in the test suite breaks?

Thanks,
-- Chad
