So I've used the rotating log with lightty/fcgi and the only issue
was that when it would rotate you would lose all further requests
because it didn't have a handle to the logfile. So everyday at log
rotation time I would restart my fcgi processes so that a new
production.log file would be populated and my app would go along its
merry way. Apparently I've hit the same thing with mongrel only the
processes die with no errors anywhere. I still have to determine this
is the cause of my problem but I will be surprised if it's not.

I didn't know i could use the Logger class like that, pretty sweet.
Do people know if rotating the logs via Logger is the issue or just
rotating in general?

Hmm... thanks for the suggestion I'll give that a look as well as
search the archives here.
I do have the logger rotating daily right now:
config.logger = Logger.new(config.log_path, 'daily')
I think I'll remove that and see if this occurs again. The thing that
still bothers me though
is that if one mongrel is broken from this shouldn't they all be? I
can always count on 1 of 4 mongrels
working so that every 3rd request is successful :-) In order to
monitor that I'd have to hit the site twice to
ensure that I'm not just getting the good mongrel on the first hit.
Not very fresh.
