Summary: RubyGems Installer Cuts Off Beginning Characters

Initial Comment:
With ruby-1.9.1 on an mswin32 environment, running setup.rb produces files in the lib\ruby\site_ruby\1.9.1\rubygems which are mostly missing the first four characters of the file. For example, C:\scripting\ruby-1.9.1\lib\ruby\site_ruby\1.9.1\rubygems\commands\list_command.rb has the following for its first line:

ire 'rubygems/command'

rather than

require 'rubygems/command'

Inspection of the sources under the rubygems-1.3.6 directory shows that those sources do not have this issue, indicating that the problem has something to do with setup.rb or its dependencies.

A workaround for this is to manually copy the rubygems-1.3.6\lib\rubygems directory into ruby-1.9.1\lib\ruby\site_ruby\1.9.1\.

Message:
I did a couple of copies with FileUtils.install without any
problems, but I wasn't able to track down where setub.rb
uses it, so I don't know if there are any options you're
using that would affect that.

Message:
RubyGems' setup.rb uses FileUtils#install to do all its copying, so I suspect the problem will exist there.

Can you rule out FileUtils as the source of this problem?
