I do not care about the presence or absence of a trace. What I want to
know is why I get a rake failure if one of the specs fail. Surely a
specification failure is an expected outcome for at last some of the
trials.  RSpec should just report that fact and let rake exit cleanly.  I
ran the previous trial with --trace just to avoid having someone write
"please provide a trace".
