I'm having trouble with the latest gems

It works fine on linux:
$ rspec --remote -v '0.5.7'

But under windows:
( >ruby -v
ruby 1.8.2 (2004-12-25) [i386-mswin32]
okay, so i should upgrade that, but still...)

>gem install rspec --remote -v '0.5.7'
>"c:\ruby\bin\ruby.exe" "c:\ruby\bin\gem" install rspec -v '
0.5.7'
Attempting local installation of 'rspec'
Local gem file not found: rspec*.gem
Attempting remote installation of 'rspec'
ERROR:  While executing gem ... (Zlib::BufError)
    buffer error

# to prove 0.5.6 still installs ok:
>gem install rspec --remote -v '0.5.6'
>"c:\ruby\bin\ruby.exe" "c:\ruby\bin\gem" install rspec -v '
0.5.6'
Attempting local installation of 'rspec'
Local gem file not found: rspec*.gem
Attempting remote installation of 'rspec'
Successfully installed rspec-0.5.6
Installing RDoc documentation for rspec-0.5.6...

any ideas?
thanks,
