Strange Exception when running rake test

I get the following exception sometimes when I run rake test and I
have some failures/errors in my test cases. It occurs after units/
functionals/integration complete.

Command failed with status (1): [/usr/bin/ruby18 -Ilib:test "/usr/

I am running ruby 1.8.6 (2007-06-07 patchlevel 36) [x86_64-linux] and
rails 1.2.3, rake 0.7.3

Any ideas? It is just an annoyance because it turns the return code
of rake test to be non zero.

Thanks,
Curtis

I don’t understand - you get the stacktrace below when some of your
tests fail or error? That’s the proper behavior.
