ActiveRecord Savepoint exception in Rails
===

I keep getting the following when running a spec, as per Michael Hartl's Rails tutorial:

    Failures:

      1) User should create a new instance given valid attributes
         Failure/Error: User.create!(@attr)
         ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid:
           SQLite3::SQLException: near "SAVEPOINT": syntax error: SAVEPOINT active_record_1
         # ./spec/models/user_spec.rb:15:in `block (2 levels) in <top (required)>'

I've upgraded my sqlite 3 version to 3.7.13 on the system. Any ideas as to how to fix this so that the test passes?
