rspec users - Apr 2007 - spec''ing a call to exit

How would I spec a call to exit?  I can''t seem to stub it - rspec  
throws an error.

I''m not sure what "speccing a call to exit" means because
it''s too
vague. Is the spec calling exit or is the code under test calling exit
(perhaps as the result of calling some other method from the spec)?

What behaviour are you expecting in what situation?

The behavior is to call exit when a certain exception is raised (for  
instance, an Interrupt signal).

I''m actually going to eliminate this from my code, as I can just call  
break instead (I''m breaking from an otherwise infinite loop).  Just  
to satisfy my curiosity, though, what are your thoughts?

Thanks,
