// Run the vanilla "rvm install 1.9.2" command after setting your .rvmrc to include the line: rvm_archflags="-arch i386"

// After it fails, type:  file ~/.rvm/src/ruby-1.9.2-p290/libruby.dylib

// On my system, "file" says: ==>  libruby.dylib: Mach-O 64-bit dynamically linked shared library x86_64
// even though "file" on the all the ".o" files says (correctly) "i386".

// So I cut-n-pasted the line below tagged <TYPE THIS BY HAND> from the ~/.rvm/log/ruby-1.9.2-p290/make.log file.
// After pasting it, but before hitting <RETURN>, I manually added the "-arch i386" bit.

Bill, Pete, Matt, Paul & John
I just watched a "Sixty Symbols" video in which a British "Jet Engine Expert" claims that a USGS report showed that volcanic ash causes flame out by "blocking the airflow through the guide vanes and turbine"

So I found this USGS paper: , which ....

 determined the following mechanisms that can affect aircraft performance due to exposure to a volcanic ash cloud:

(a) deposition of material on hot-section components, 
(b) erosion of compressor blades and rotor-path components, 
(c) blockage of fuel nozzles and cooling passages,

Yes, adding Errno::EPIPE seems to have completely solved the problem!
(barring very unlikely coincidences)

Thank you !

For reference, the line # was correct for my "remote_fetcher.rb" file from June 3, 2009 in rubygems 1.3.5
My lines 337 - 340 are now:

    # HACK work around EOFError bug in Net::HTTP
    # NOTE Errno::ECONNABORTED raised a lot on Windows, and make impossible
