The problem might be related to the version of Ruby 1.9.1 you're
using.

can you tell us which version of Ruby 1.9.1 are you using? (ruby -v)

Also, to the encoding of your Windows installation.

What is the language of your installation and your console encoding?
(chcp)

Chopping the first characters might be a UTF encoding issue.

RubyInstaller do not present this issue. Can you test downloading
1.9.1 of RC2 and manually install RubyGems 1.3.6 on top of it?

More details here:

ruby 1.9.1p376 (2009-12-07 revision 26041) [i386-mswin32]

English installation.

chcp output is:
Active code page: 437

That's a bit more trouble than I'm willing to go through immediately,
since the workaround has resolved the problem, although I might be able
to follow up some more at home and give you some data. Thanks for the
pointer to rubyinstaller, I didn't know that existed.
