appears that the spec_runner is setting up a chdir block and that the
chdir_spec is changing the directory explicitly (as you would expect) and Ruby
gives a warning since, once the block exits, this new directory will be changed
back to the one before the block began.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText>> Yes - that's what it's supposed to do. This is how
we detect failure in our automated test<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>> suites. I was more worried about the chdir_spec
warnings that you showed.<o:p></o:p></p>
