Did you ever get to the bottom of this. I''m having a similar (though
possibly different) problem with a Rails app failing occasionally and on just
one mongrel instance, which from the trace and behaviour seems to be
ImageSceince/RubyInline related.
See my post on Rails deployment group:
http://groups.google.co.uk/group/rubyonrails-deployment/browse_thread/thread/8ffd04de15bfb7a4?hl=en
Thanks
