Mongrel, at least in 1.1.4, doesn't set the close-on-exec flag on the listen
socket. This leads to trouble in programs that use Mongrel and fork other
programs (like puppetmasterd, part of Puppet). For an example, see
http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-dev/browse_thread/thread/463f0f8cfc80cc43
Please consider applying something like the following patch:
--- lib/mongrel.rb.orig 2008-07-17 17:44:42.000000000 -0400
+++ lib/mongrel.rb 2008-07-17 17:44:53.000000000 -0400

If somebody can show me what the Mongrel way of making this (POSIX)
platform-specific, that would be appreciated.
