Rails 3.1.x - "kill -9" only way to stop tests

Ever since upgrading to Rails 3.1 on one of my projects tests can no longer be stopped using Ctrl+C but must instead be stopped will "kill -9" (regular kill will also not stop the tests).

This is on Ubuntu 11.04 with Ruby 1.9.2p0 and Rails 3.1.1.

What is the code in the test that causes this to happen?

All tests. Ctrl+C seems to interrupt the first test and does nothing after that. The only gem I can speculate being a problem might be shoulda.

How do you start your tests?

5

rake test

or

ruby -Itest test/unit/whatever

There was some speculation on this issue here:
