Greetings all, Unit tests are passing, but I'm having mucho problems getting brb to run without exceptions for more than 6 hours. I'm seeing a mixture of the following 2 exceptions: 20070605-11:26:56 (21497) failed to find slave socket - (RuntimeError) 20070605-11:26:56 (21497) /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/ slave-1.2.1/lib/slave.rb:435:in `initialize' 20070605-11:26:56 (21497) /var/www/html/the-soup/vendor/plugins/ backgroundrb/server/lib/backgroundrb/middleman.rb:210:in `new_worker' and 20070605-11:26:56 (21497) ~~~~~~~~~ Can't find job!

Talking with Ezra at railsconf he indicated that a new team member was joining - can I provide any info to help debug this? Jodi
