You must be seeing something i''m not because i have no such call to
`process_cgi''
anywhere in my rails-created directory tree (i find-grep''d everything).
I also
grep''d the gem hierarchy for some "magical" invocation but
don''t see anything there
either.  So i still wonder if this isn''t outdated documentation
(continuing to be
irritatingly persistent about this possibility).
