The r39055 patch for rubygems security (lib/rubygems/config_file.rb) causes 11 make test-all failures

http://ci.rubyinstaller.org/job/ruby-trunk-x64-test-all/659/console

if you believe they were disclosed to a third party.

If you try changing the file to read-only in the gui, ruby thinks the permissions are:

>> File.stat('credentials').mode.to_s(8)[2..5]
=> "0444"

which still causes usage failures. I've removed all users/group permissions except my own (from the windows security tab gui) on win7, but the failure continues. Spelunking...
