Don't apply the previous patch.

I can reproduce the above error with the following commands:

> rails new foobar
> cd foobar
> rails generate scaffold Product title
> rake db:migrate
> rake test

Relevant line in testapp/test/test_helper.rb:

> require File.expand_path('../../config/environment', __FILE__)

These errors may be related.  The latter error is clearly a Rails problem.
