[chef] end-of-file error when viewing/downloading a cookbook under Chef 0.10.8?

[Ian Marlier < >]

I recently set up a test box to start playing with Chef 0.10.  (We're on 0.9 and planning to upgrade, and I'm using this box to verify that cookbooks work under 0.10.)  Things worked fine for a day or so, then all of a sudden I started getting "end of file reached" when attempting to view a cookbook in the web UI.  I'm also unable to download a cookbook to the chef-client, which of course means that chef-client doesn't run.  Unfortunately, the stack trace is totally bufuddling me.  I'm hoping that someone might be able to give me a hand figuring out what the deal is.

OS is CentOS 5.7, ruby version 1.9.2p180.  Chef was installed using the bootstrap cookbook (specifically, bootstrap-test-20120113.tar.gz).  CouchDB version is 0.11.2, which I don't actually think is the latest, but is the version that the bootstrap decided to install.

Here's the stack trace that's being thrown to the server.log file when this error happens:
