Mongrel users - Oct 2008 - Problems with Mongrel > 1.1 and OS X

I''ve having issues with some part of Mongrel start up process stalling
with
versions of Mongrel greater than 1.1

Using Mongrel Gem version 1.1 both

./script/server  and ./merb

boot fine

But from gem version 1.1.1 both processes stall immediately

I can get it to continue by attempting to force quit with CTRL -C

system info

Mac OS X 10.5.5
Ruby 1.8.7 (2008-05-31 patchlevel 0) [i686-darwin9.5.0]

And

Mac OS X 10.5.5
Ruby 1.8.7 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 72) [i686-darwin9.5.0]

Is there a way I can get further information of what is happening in the
boot up sequence to investigate further.


Thanks

Ok I''ve narrowed down the bug to lib/mongrel/gems.rb

Its the removal of the line

unless respond_to? ''gem''

That''s causing problems

If no one has any suggestions as to where the problem lies other that
mongrel I''ll file it as a bug.

I''m noticing the exact same problem with Tiger (10.4) on a PPC.  If you
figured out the problem, I''d love to hear it.
