Why does Rake crash my Mac OS X ?

I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.2 and I've got a strange problem with rake and my ruby applications.

Has soon as I launch a rake command my mac crashes and ask me to reboot (dark screen). This occur when I try to run a Rakefile or even simply if I type:

rake --version

I tried reinstalling rake by running the install.rb file of the latest version of rake package but the problem still remains. OS X Crash also occur when I try to install rubygame through the gem command.

I'm using gem 1.3.1 and here is my version of ruby :

ruby 1.8.7 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 72) [universal-darwin10.0]

Does any one already had this problem and solved it?

The file was corrupted and the install.rb script of the rake package did not replaced it on reinstall. After replacing the rake file manually it worked:

Vinz-2:bin vcogne$ whereis rake
/usr/bin/rake
Vinz-2:bin vcogne$ sudo cp ~/Desktop/rake-0.8.7/bin/rake /usr/bin/

I did the same for the location the "which rake" command gave me.
