Subject: Re: unusual rake behaviour

I checked CVS.  There is a recent (Dec. 19) change made by Nobu to 
test/unit.rb that was part of the 1.8.2 release.

The code for auto-running the tests was changed from:

Test::Unit::AutoRunner.run($0)

to:

Test::Unit::AutoRunner.run($0 != "-e" && $0)

Reverting this change will get Rake::TestTask working again, but I'm 
not sure what else will break as a consequence.  The change was likely 
trying to fix some other problem.  The CVS checkin comment doesn't say 
why it was changed.

Cheers,

Dave
