Has anyone else encountered this?

It will end up printing this :

 1) Applications Scribd api requests should always be private
     Failure/Error: Unable to find matching line from backtrace
     SystemStackError:
       stack level too deep
     # /Users/o_o/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p0@capr3/gems/rspec-expectations-2.5.0/lib/rspec/matchers/method_missing.rb:7

We noticed this.

A similar issue has been reported[1]. It's a weird bug with ruby
1.9[2]. When you include RSpec::Matchers in an example group, it
makes `super` recurse infinitely.

The solution, for now, is to not include RSpec::Matchers in an example
group. You shouldn't need to, anyway; RSpec takes care of including
it for you. I'm working on a fix to work around the bug in 1.9.
