Rails - Mar 2005 - Don't name an action "process"

...or you will spend some time chasing this error message:

"wrong number of arguments (2 for 0)"

into the ActiveController::base code (line 263 at the moment), where 
base class invokes the same method.

Just thought I''d share, because when I googled that error message, I 
got just one hit in Russian.  :)

It was a bit of a puzzler, because I really didn''t expect it to be 
doing what it did, so I literally commented out the entire body of the 
action method (and still had the error) before I remembered the method 
invokation in the base class and double-checked the name of the method 
itself.

There''s a ticket on the website that mentions these private methods.
Perhaps you can add process to the list.
