rspec users - Jun 2011 - rspec not returning exit code with --drb w/o spork running

I am seeing a problem with running rspec (rspec 2.6.0, rspec-core
2.6.4) with --drb (our default) when spork is not running. It fails to
return a non-zero error code.

Anyone has any suggestions where I should start looking? Known bug?

Thx
dB.

It seems like the problem is in Ruby, described in
https://github.com/jnicklas/capybara/issues/178

But I fail to see how I can workaround that :( Any ideas?

Ok, sorry for the spam. I applied the same change that was done in
minitest to rspec and it seems to work. Pull request here:
