Try this one trick to remove seg faults
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Using Sassc and Sprockets seems somewhat prone to segmentation faults
which seems to be a common issue with Sprockets 4. As per
rails/sprockets#633 and
sass/sassc-ruby#207, switching concurrent
asset generation seems to resolve the problem. The unproven theory is
that this reflects that Sprockets 4 uses threads which causes problems
for sassc.

A consequence of this is that asset pre-compilation may be slower than
it could be.

# We've experienced segmentation faults when pre-compiling assets with libsass.
# Disabling Sprockets 4's export_concurrent setting seems to resolve the issues
