Indeed, you're right. I compared old and new visually (only) and didn't 
notice the difference. As I have some stuff in spec_helper.rb, I don't 
like to overwrite it.

Unfortunately and surprisingly not. I'm using

ruby 1.8.7 (2010-06-23 patchlevel 299) [x86_64-linux]

in case that makes a difference.

I can work around this by including the required extension explicitly in 
ApplicationController, of course.
