rspec users - Sep 2010 - Is this a bug? (before(:all) and after(:all) are run for each subcontext)

Rspec version is 1.3.0

Given following spec code:

    describe "SomeModule" do
      before(:all) { puts "BEFORE" }
      after(:all)  { puts "AFTER"; puts }

      context "One" do
        it "should puts A" do puts "A" end
        it "should puts B" do puts "B" end
      end

      context "Two" do
        it "should puts C" do puts "C" end
        it "should puts D" do puts "D" end
      end
    end

It results in following output:

    BEFORE
    C
    .D
    .AFTER

    BEFORE
    A
    .B
    .AFTER

It is a known issue in 1.3, but it will not be fixed in the 1.x series.

It does work as you expect in 2.0.
