If you're running REE and Passenger then there's a good chance you can make your app stop working by running "gem update --system".

Here's a quick way to downgrade rubygems:

gem uninstall rubygems-update -v 1.5.0

gem install rubygems-update -v 1.4.2

update_rubygems _1.4.2_

Thanks Mike!

On the local meetup that we had last Thursday someone mentioned the pain of fixing this. They will be happy to learn the solution!
