Sometimes I get the same error and I'm not using Vagrant (env is
Ubuntu x64/Ruby2 and tests are run on remote servers). The problem is
I get it rarely and I cannot reproduce it because when I immediately
run the test again it goes well.
I don't have big problems with this but it would be nice to know why
this is happening. There are some answers on the google which suggest
error in the code (like this one: http://goo.gl/pVWUm1) but I don't
think it's the problem here.
