Hi Jon,

It turns out that the real underlying reason for the failure was that I was 
generating an exception with no backtrace (backtrace = nil). Does that seem to 
you like something you would want RSpec to handle more gracefully, or is that 
one of those “if you make the program fool-proof then they’ll create a better 
fool” type of errors?
