I''m running rspec and rspec on rails in svn external so I am running
the latest version of the trunk. Recently the rake spec task started
braking the continuous integration server because the rake aborted.  I
checked my local and it ran with the same behavior.. and all of the
devs on my team are now experiencing the same problem. All the spec''s
are passing, but the rake task is aborting. Anyone know why this could
be happening?

Finished in 8.396101 seconds

422 examples, 0 failures, 25 pending
rake aborted!
Command ruby etc. etc.

" --options "/Users/lance/Sites/feedvuz/spec/spec.opts" failed

(See full trace by running task with --trace)

The trace produced the following results:
