Re: [Mongrel] Mongrel(_rails) crashing with rails3
Passenger might be the way to go long term but right now I have some production machines that I can't take the time to upgrade/test/debug. I can't use rails server in production because I need to launch them specifying --user and --group (plus it would mean changing the whole request dispatch / process scheme I'm using). I'll try to dig deeper into this over the weekend. Any pointers would be welcomed.

Re: [Mongrel] Mongrel(_rails) crashing with rails3
It's more inertia than preference. I've been running passenger on one of our test servers, but our production environment consists of a pool of servers that run a bunch of low volume rails apps. The life cycle of these apps are managed through custom code that launches them via mongrel_rails (this setup pre-dates passenger). Passenger would be a fine solution (although I wish it provided better control over how many of which app were running), but requires a lot of testing before releasing to production. One possibility is to install passenger on the production machines but not run it in auto-detect mode. That way one app at a time could be moved to passenger. I need to do some more testing of that configuration. Still in the short term the shortest path for me to get a rails 3 app on our production servers is to be able to launch it via mongrel_rails.

If you're suggesting rack or rails server directly in Rails3... ah, but still with mongrel, just not wtih mongrel_rails? Curious what reasons you have to prefer mongrel to passenger?
