Thanks for the tips Zed, I will uninstall + reinstall all of the
gems. There is also a new version of fastthread, which I just
installed. In the words of the author:
"Well, just when I thought I was done with fastthread, it turns out
that the version of fastthread merged into Ruby 1.8.6’s thread
library had a couple serious bugs. So, here’s a new version of
fastthread which can serve as a hotfix until the next Ruby release."

We made the switch to 1.8.6 for the reputed 10% speed boost. We're
using it on our in-house server that runs our beta app, and we're not
upgrading the customer servers until this is stable.
Thanks for the help,
Pete

Hi guys,
I've been running mongrel for a while now with Ruby 1.8.4, and last
week upgraded to 1.8.6.
First, NEVER upgrade a production server to new versions before you
test the living hell out of it. This always leads to disaster.
Second, I haven't tested Mongrel on 1.8.6 and there's apparently a
small bug in the new thread implementation that's included. You'll
want to try out fastthread very latest even if you're running 1.8.6.
Third, whenever you do an upgrade you have to recompile ALL of your
gems. Every last one. No matter what. Best way to do this is
uninstall all of your gems then reinstall the ones you need. It's
good
spring cleaning, but it also makes sure that the compiled extensions
work with the new ruby interpreter.
Lastly, I only deploy 1.8.5 with fastthread, not 1.8.6. I'm sure
there's bugs lurking in 1.8.6 that haven't been tested out on both
Rails and Mongrel.
Let me know what you find.
