Did you try that? In a terminal run:

GEM_SINGLE_CONTEXT=1 pd -lib Gem

(works with bash shell, other shells may differ)

If that works, then you can add this to your ~/.bashrc or similar:

export GEM_SINGLE_CONTEXT=1

The GEM_SINGLE_CONTEXT=1 works for me here (Debian Lenny with old driver 
version as newer versions have dropped support...  "aptitude hold" is my 
friend iirc).
