My mistake: the path had ../useless.rb in it. I changed that and I get 
the output, followed by the failure. Still no growing file, though.

I also tried splitting out the testcase, but it made no difference.

I suggest putting an exit in, starting at the first executable line,
and move it forward until you find the line that's causing the
problem. Right now, I can't reproduce it here.
