Google Gears Breaking Reader?

I am a huge fan of Google Reader, and think that the new Google Gears add on is a wonderful idea. I'm looking forward to when more websites are making use of it. However, today Gears seems to be causing Reader to not load. Uninstalling Gears seems to have fixed the problem for me. Anyone else having any issues? Given the still experimental nature of Gears I'm not too upset, but it is a bummer to see a bug crop up.
