The first thing I'd check would be whether you have RAILS_ENV defined
in your .profile or .bashrc or wherever.  RSpec used to always declare
the 'test' environment, but the latest version of spec_helper.rb
declares it conditionally:

ENV["RAILS_ENV"] ||= 'test'

It shouldn't be necessary to declare your environment as 'development'
in the shell, because it's usually the default.  So if you have that
environment variable set somewhere, take it out.
