rspec users - Sep 2010 - [Rails] Unexpected calls to *_before_type_cast in view specs

Good evening,

I''m having some issues with the view specs on a project newly upgraded
from rspec-rails-1.2.x to rspec-rails-1.3.2, and also having had a
Rails upgrade from 2.3.5 to 2.3.9 done at the same time.

My view specs are now failing with messages like the one at the bottom
of this message. I''ve had a dig around the source, but not been able
to find anything that seems particularly useful.

Is this an issue that other people have seen, and if so, is anyone
able to suggest a solution?

Cheers,

Jon Wood
