I am occasionally seeing issues like this:

ruby /Users/plundberg/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.3.1/bin/rspec(63837,0x7fffd90c33c0) malloc: *** error for object 0x7fb4a88d2320: pointer being freed was not allocated
*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug
Abort trap: 6

This is unfortunately in a non-FOSS repo, but I can provide the spec_helper and Gemfile* if it helps. Any immediate suggestions?

No feedback received, no other people have reported the same issue. Let's close this for now until we have a good, isolated repro case.

Ruby 2.3.1 is not the latest release version. Please try with Ruby 2.3.6 or 2.4.3.
