Summary: Computed hash is sometimes too large.
Initial Comment:
The current hash algorithm in dependency.rb (line 138) and specification.rb
(line 658) can sometimes create a hash that is too large. This is also possible
with Array#hash in MRI, which can also misbehave if one of the array elements
returns a large hash value:
class C
def hash
100000000000000000000
end
end
[C.new].hash # => in `hash': bignum too big to convert into
`long' (RangeError)
REXML has a similar issue. http://redmine.ruby-
lang.org/issues/show/1883 tracks the issue, and MRI will be
fixing the issue.
Suggested fixes are:

Bernard,
Might I suggest reading a copy of Zig ZIgler's How to Win Friends and Influence
People? Because you're failing.
Your passive-agressive barb of a blog post seems to gloss over the fact that
this bug is a bug in ruby, not a bug in the libraries. Not only that, but the
bug has been fixed (and released) for over a year. It is not in any author's
best interest to maintain hack after hack to deal with any and every
incompatibility with every version of ruby ever released.
We're calling #hash or an array of arrays of strings and ints. If #hash returns
a BigNum, that's a bug... in ruby. Upgrade ruby and the problem is fixed.

This bug seems to re-appear. requirement.rb should probably be patched as
proposed by Daniel Weaver to guarantee compatibility with ruby 1.8.7-p176.
I've written a review with additional details about this bug at:

I realize these are bugs in the underlying Ruby implementation of hash, but it
really helps us to have them fixed in gem.
This is the patch for requirement.rb that we currently need to deploy to make
bundler happy with our apps:

Message:
Hello again,
I got the bignum error again, but this time with cucumber-0.9.4. These commands
weren't able to install the gem:
* bundle install
* bundle install --local
* sudo bundle install --local
* sudo bundle install --local --system
* sudo bundle install --system
However, I was able to work around the issue by
1. installing the gem to my system manually (sudo gem install cucumber
--version "0.9.4"), and
2. installing the bundle to the system (sudo bundle install --system)
For step 2, trying "bundle install --local" worked only if all the gems in the
bundle are already installed. If there were some gems from the bundle that are
not installed, running "sudo bundle install --system" was the only way I could
install them.

Message:
Hello,
I tried this patch, but I am still getting the error, at the same place in the
code. The error is the same with or without the patch to specification.rb;
dependency.rb was already like the patched part shown above. This happened
when installing using bundler, executed via capistrano.
We had been using hpricot, it wasn't needed, it was giving this error first.
I took it out, but then the same RangeError happened with mysql. I've seen it
before also with nokogiri. (Always with native gems, though).
Here's the relevant part of the log:

So, is this the same issue? It sure looks like it to me. I hope not to have to
dive into the innards of rubygems if possible. But we need to be able to
deploy. The app is working and passing tests on development, but hard to say
on staging as we can't get it over there with cap. I suppose it could all be
done by hand once anyway, but we (other dev on my team and I ) need to be able
to do this over again.
Thanks for your time in this!
Cheers,
Craig
