Wow,

I've had this bug for a long time and I've seen others post on this list
about it, but I've never found a solution.  I tried blowing away the
stuff in var/cache/redcarpet, and now it works again!

I think this should get marked as a FAQ, and hopefully a bug fix soon. 
This was killing me for sometime...

&gt; Red-carpet rebuilds that directory if it finds it missing.  That worked
&gt; for me.  I read a later post that suggested that all you have to get rid
&gt; of is /var/cache/redcarpet/icons.  Give that a try.  I don't think you
&gt; can hurt anything that way other than losing cached packages in
&gt; /var/cache/redcarpet/packages if you do decide to trash everything.
