Hi, I actually found it quite hard to reproduce. It seems to depend on the order in which the gems are installed and I seemed to be able to reproduce it by random touch commands in gem directory.
However, a symptom is present on non windows boxes if you do something like $ cat > buildfile task "X" do rm_rf "XXXXXXXX" end ^D $ buildr X and you see a line like "rm -rf XXXXXX" then there may be an issue. I also observed that some times there was also problems with "buildr install" on windows boxes. (You would receive a ArgumentError for calling the install method).
