Rails - Apr 2006 - Warnings printed to console causes error if console closed on Linux

I had a statement that was generating a warning about parenthesise 
argument for future version. The interesting thing was it would crash 
the page with an input/output error on my production linux server, but 
worked fine in webbrick/windows. I finally tracked it down to it crashed 
when trying to print the warning to the console. If I kept the terminal 
open that I started the server on it would print the warning, but not 
crash. I''m using lighttpd and scgi. I start the server by using 
scgi_cluster via SSH.

Any ideas why this is happening?

Thanks!

Just following up with the solution for anyone who searches the mailing 
list...

Redirecting stderr to a file did the trick.
