Not Ruby 2.0.1. It doesn't exist. Rails 2.0.1? Ruby != Rails. http://rubyisnotrails.com/ > It is odd that what ever the problem, Mongrel crashes..

No, it doesn't, because it doesn't have anything to do with _mongrel_ reliability. The problem is related to Rails deadlocking. When that happens, control never returns to Mongrel; it is out of Mongrel's control. It's something happening inside of either the Rails code or your application's code. It is not happening in Mongrel's code. Mongrel is a software component that is responsible for a narrow range of tasks. 1) It receives HTTP requests, and parses them. 2) It determines, based on the request uri, which of it's registered handlers should handle the request. 3) It calls the handler, handing it request and response objects. 4) There are some differences in how the handlers for various frameworks actually work, but in the end they all do one thing that is the same -- they pass control from the handler into the framework's code. 5) Session handling occurs here, inside of the framework's code, which includes the code for your application. As does the rest of whatever your application does to construct it's response. 6) When the framework/app code finishes constructing the response, control flows out of the handler and back to Mongrel. 7) Mongrel sends the response. That's the basic cycle of operation. Your problem is almost certainly inside #5.
