"Loading Rake tasks..." menu item never completes

I have had this problem with RubyMine 3.0.1 and 3.1: the Tools | Loading Rake tasks... menu never completes, and thus I never have a Tools | Rake Tasks... menu.

If I create a new Rails project, I get a clean Tools | Rake Tasks... menu, so it's a problem with the somewhat large Rails project that I work on. What I'd like to know is how to investigate and solve this problem.

From the command line, 'rake -T' works, but emits several DEPRECATION WARNING lines. (This is a Rails 2.3.8 project with several plugins that are causing some deprecation warnings.) There are also a few custom rake tasks in our project that emit multi-line descriptions, causing 'rake -T' to emit more than one line per rake task.

The Rails project with this project is able to run, both with and without the debugger, from within RubyMine. In fact, I haven't noticed any other RubyMine functionality that isn't working in this project.

Suggestions?

Thank you.
