It was like that when I found it..
I discovered an interesting feature of rspec today, mainly that it is broken.
Interestingly enough if you write the following spec and try to run it you will get a segfault.
require 'rspec'
describe "doubles" do
let(:my_object) { my_object }
it "can cause segfaults" do
my_object
end
end
This is only true on ruby 2.1.0 and above as outlined here
