Repro instructions:

# (using Ruby 2.4.2)
# 1. $ git clone [e-mail]:thoughtbot/factory_girl.git && cd factory_girl
# 2. $ bundle install
# 3. Add the code snippet under spec/acceptance/recursion.rb
# 4. $ rspec spec/acceptance/recursion.rb

require "spec_helper"

describe "seg fault" do
  before do
    define_model("User", two: :string, one: :string)

    FactoryGirl.define do
      factory :user do
        one { two }
        two { one }
      end
    end
  end

  subject { FactoryGirl.create(:user) }

  it('recursion depth error') { subject }
  it('segfault')              { subject } # need to do deep recursion twice
end

Results in:

[1]    1229 segmentation fault  bundle exec rspec
