Backgroundrb devel - Jun 2007 - Worker that launches workers?

I''m just getting started with backgroundRb and have run into a bit of  
problem...

I want to have my controller launch one worker which in turn launches  
multiple child workers. When trying to use MiddleMan.new_worker in  
the parent worker I get a "recycled object" error.

Is it not possible to launch workers from within another worker?

TIA, for any help.
