I recently upgraded a server’s rubygems from 0.9.0 to 1.2.0. Upon  
doing so, one of our apps that uses soap4r thinks all the security  
certificates it sees are invalid (see Error 1 below). I tried  
reverting to 0.9.0, but anything that uses rubygems crashes now (see  
Error 2 below). If anyone could help me solve either problem, that  
would be great. Ideally, I’d like to run the latest version because  
some of my new Rails apps have issues with the older version of  
Rubygems. Thanks!
