Segmentation fault in running tests on TravisCI

[slumnitz]

I am not sure how to debug this as there is no information on which package is segfaulting.

Error message:
/home/travis/.travis/functions: line 104: 4256 Segmentation fault (core dumped) nosetests splot --with-doctest --with-coverage --cover-package=splot

I've never seen this error before. Maybe @sjsrey and @ljwolf have a better sense of what this is.

I think that's similar to what we're running into at contextily:

The command "python -m pytest -v tests/ --cov contextily" exited with 139.

Fatal memory faults seems to be leading to this issue. Attempting limited testing in #48

The command "nosetests splot --with-doctest --with-coverage --cover-package=splot;" 
exited with 139.

Unfortunately limiting to one test case each didn't solve the issue. My guess is that there is an issue with one of the splot dependencies. Also, this does very much appear to be the exact reason the pysal/pyal builds are failing. My recommended plan of action would be to find which testing script the segfault is being thrown from and then narrow it down to an exact test if possible. From there, simply comment out the offending tests until the problem is resolved.

UPDATE: Solved in #48
