Still happens on 1.11.1

Only happens if I install virtualenv with easy_install or via python setup.py install (fairly common).

Doesn't happen if I install with pip (eg, pip install /path/to/virtualenv.tar.gz)

pip's vendored pkg_resources (that we added for 1.5.1) does not have the fix that setuptools got in v2
we need to update pkg_resources and release asap

[ionelmc]

Oooops.... I thought it was fixed

[qwcode]

it was fixed, until we vendored an older pkg_resources
