It is truly said that to solve a problem, all you have to do is explain 
it to the coat stand.

The subtle difference was that in the application, the call was effectively:

Exammodule.find_by_specificationcode(4400)

where it should have been:

Exammodule.find_by_specificationcode("4400")

Sorry to have troubled you.
