I'm on ```jruby 1.7.3 (1.9.3p385) 2013-02-21 dac429b on Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 1.6.0_51-b11-457-11M4509 [darwin-x86_64]``` - using Spork (since it's the only DRb solution for JRuby at present)

When starting Spork, I get: ```DRb.current_server.uri: druby://192.168.0.143:64959``` and hence this currently returns false, leading to no default_path, etc... This is the reason I decided to patch this.

I read the discussion at https://github.com/rspec/rspec-core/pull/1018 and at https://github.com/rspec/rspec-core/issues/1010.

As to wether it's "dumb" or not, you'd have to ask @dchelimsky - but yes, I didn't improve on it dramatically, if that's what you meant... I guess I fell into that standard Engineering/Development trap of following a previous pattern.

I'll look at making this nicer...
