Is this a bug? (before(:all) and after(:all) are run for each subcontext)

Testing RSpec
1

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.
