Summary: UndefinedConversionError if Encoding.default_internal=ASCII-8BIT
Initial Comment:
With ruby 1.9.1, the default internal string encoding can be set with
Encoding.default_internal= or by passing ruby the -E":US-ASCII" option.
If the internal encoding is set to non-UTF-8 encodings such as US-ASCII,
BINARY, or ISO-8859-1, then you will get an exception when trying to load
rubygems if you have installed gemspecs that have non-ASCII characters.
==== To reproduce ====
* Install Nokogiri, or any other gem that has non-ascii characters in its
gemspec.
* Run test.rb (attached)
==== Exception ====
$ ruby test.rb
Encoding.default_internal = US-ASCII

==== Suggested fix ====
Always specify the internal encoding as UTF-8 when reading gemspec files.
Don't use the default internal encoding. (see attached patch)
==== My environment ====
$ gem env
