When there are specs with examples tagged :focus => true, the following behavior is seen:

- rspec run alone recognizes the tag and limits the tests to the tagged examples
- rspec run within spork ignores the tag and runs all examples

This appears to be due to some new incompatibility between spork and rspec due to the recent update of rspec to 2.8.x.
