rspec users - Apr 2011 - rake spec fails where rake spec:(models|controllers|views) pass

I''m still trying to work into Ruby 1.9.2 and am now experiencing 
something that makes no sense to me. Using rspec 1.3.2 and rspec-rails 
1.3.4 with rails 2.3.11 on ruby 1.9.2-p180, when I

$ rake spec:models

they all pass. When I

$ rake spec:controllers

they all pass. When I

$ rake spec:views

they all pass. But when I

$ rake spec

I get

<path to 
gem>/activesupport-2.3.11/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:177: stack 
level too deep (SystemStackError)

I''ve been tinkering around with the rake file, and when I change

   t.spec_files = FileList[''spec/**/*_spec.rb'']

in the default task to hit just one of the subdirectories, such as

   t.spec_files = FileList[''spec/models/**/*_spec.rb'']

then rake spec works. I''ve done this for models, controllers, and
views,
and rake spec works fine for each. But including all of them like

   t.spec_files = FileList[''spec/models/**/*_spec.rb'', 
''spec/controllers/**/*_spec.rb'',
''spec/views/**/*_spec.rb'']

does *not* work (same error as mentioned above). Ironically, including 
just models and views does work:

   t.spec_files = FileList[''spec/models/**/*_spec.rb'', 
''spec/views/**/*_spec.rb'']

but it seems that any combination including controllers will fail. This 
is odd to me since rake spec:controllers works. Unless it has something 
to do with the number of files and/or examples. The number of files and 
examples for each spec type is

models:      25 files, 391 examples
controllers: 26 files, 973 examples
views:       52 files, 508 examples

Using just rake spec did work on Ruby 1.8.7(-p302) and Ruby 1.9.1(-p243).

Does anyone have any ideas? I can run each group individually (and even 
create an alias to do it all at once), but then rspec has to spin up the 
app 3 times. Besides, that doesn''t address why this isn''t
working on
ruby 1.9.2.

Thanks,
Phillip

I can''t explain why, but when I remove

--loadby mtime
--reverse

from spec/spec.opts, rake spec works again. It *might* have something
to do with this thread [1], but I don''t know.

Peace.
