Copied from RubyGems bug report for sake of discussion:

I get this when I run gem list

brains hgs 676 %> gem list
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/optparse.rb:1001: warning: character class has `]' without escape

I've never seen output like that before!!  Are there other factors which
could be causing this?  Anyone else got any ideas or reports?

I edited my /usr/local/bin/gem so that it ran with -w and
$VERBOSE=true, but could not get those optparse warnings.

For me: ruby 1.8.2 (2004-05-16) [i386-cygwin]

There's no optparse except the standard library one, AFAIK.
