>Summary: 1.3.6 "gem unpack" fails with "You don't have write permissions" error

Initial Comment:
Running "gem unpack" version 1.3.6 as a non-root user (without write permissions into the system gem repository) fails with a permissions error, even though the target directory IS writable.

This appears to be a 1.3.6 regression as it worked properly before.

I think a patch release should be issued for this ASAP.  It is highly annoying.
