If you're running the latest > mspec version, would you mind telling us where it's freezing? I'm not the original poster but I'm seeing hangs too. If I run "mspec --verbose rubyspec/1.8/library" the process hangs after printing: rubyspec/1.8/library/socket/basicsocket/setsockopt_spec.rb . If I interrupt the process it prints rubyspec/1.8/library/socket/basicsocket/shutdown_spec.rb Process aborted! Now here's the strange thing: "mspec --verbose rubyspec/1.8/library/socket" completes without problems! It is context dependent: something about the complete library test set makes mspec hang inside socket/basicsocket/shutdown_spec.rb . I've no idea how to debug this further. Any tips?
