Ticket here: http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/7322

Fix/patch attached.

Internal description:

The rake task uses Gem.cache.search to search 'rails', however this is a 
partial search which leads to, in my case, 'odbc-rails' gem that has 
version 1.4. Since there is no Rails 1.4, the task fails.

I marked this as Critical because it has effectively blocked me from 
using Rails freeze feature for several months already! 'odbc-rails' is 
"innocently causing" the problem in my system, but any gem having 
'rails' in its name has the potential to trigger this bug.

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/media/prestige/home/ceefour/tmp/halo$ rake 
rails:freeze:gems
(in /media/prestige/home/ceefour/tmp/halo)
Freezing to the gems for Rails 1.4
rm -rf vendor/rails
mkdir -p vendor/rails
cd vendor/rails
Unpacked gem: 'activerecord-1.15.3.7116'
mv activerecord-1.15.3.7116 activerecord
ERROR:  Gem 'rails' not installed.
rake aborted!
undefined method `to_str' for nil:NilClass

(See full trace by running task with --trace)


Workaround:

I fixed the task to specify a strict regex specifying /^rails$/i so that 
rails, and only Rails, will be found by the search. I included 'i' regex 
modifier in the speculation that other OS (MS's) may somehow use 
capitalized gem name (???). It's otherwise purely harmless.

Please apply this patch. Thank you.
