i’m not sure where to report this.

in windows XP, using the one-click installer to install either ruby  
1.8.6-25 or 1.8.6-26  
when you run gem update --system

Time::parse doesn’t exist anymore, it works fine with rubygems 0.9.2  
and 0.9.5

Time::parse lives in the “time” extension. Just at a guess the older  
versions of RubyGems required “time” and 1.0.1 doesn’t. In that case,  
you’ll have to do it yourself:

require “time”

I can’t speak for certain, but I think it probably went out when they  
removed Time.today from RubyGems.

to be bitting me more often then i expected.
