Description
I use Cruise control an was notified of failing builds on the latest update to two of my projects. The problem was a call to
bundle exec rake -v --nosearch --trace -e "Rake.application.run"
That call returned
rake aborted!
rake aborted!
So I dug a bit deeper and found that the real issue is probably:
bundle exec rake -v --nosearch --trace -e "handle_options"
rake aborted!
SystemStackError: stack level too deep
The stack level error "goes away" when using 10.3.2

Research direction
Reproduce the reported commands with Rake 10.4.2 and compare them with 10.3.2, using the --trace output to identify where handle_options recurses. Confirm that the newer version no longer reports repeated “rake aborted!” messages or SystemStackError for these invocations.
