Even when spring is disabled, this gem still tries to watch files

In my CI env, I export DISABLE_SPRING=1, but then I get errors about increasing the inotify limits anyway. It seems like this gem shouldn't try to do anything if spring is disabled.

I can confirm this. On my production server after opening the console, spring keeps active, consuming memory, only way to kill it until now:
ps ax | grep spring | cut -f1 -d' ' | xargs kill

ps ax | grep spring | cut -f1 -d' ' | xargs kill

$ pkill spring does the job for me ;-)

Guys, why are you using spring on production or CI?

I honestly don't remember which project this was for now, but I most certainly wasn't trying to use spring in production or CI. The reason I opened the bug is that it was trying to run in CI, even though I explicitly disabled it.
