The three specs below all fail for some people some time, but work for other peopel toher times (Hudson currently has them passing). Me and Jessie have both independently tried to look into it, but been unable to figure out what's going on.

Temporarily commented out with pending() until someone has a chance to look at them.

(the functions tested by these specs (coincidentally?) all use ActionMailer, although there are toher specs testing ActionMailer behavior (I think?) that work fine).

1)
ActionView::TemplateError in 'CatalogController send_email_record sms should redirect back to the record upon success'
You have a nil object when you didn't expect it!
You might have expected an instance of ActiveRecord::Base.
