When I run using webrick on a dual WinXP SP2 machine it crashes intmittently at random locations. If the page has no MySQL lookups in it it will go and go forever. The moment I put one MyModel.find(:first) into the controller. Webrick starts crashing again. Crash as in illegal access into low addresses of memory. I have tried installing MySQL 4.1 and 5 GA as well as uninstalling and reinstalling Ruby/Rails. No luck. When I move to a Unix or Win32 machine with a single CPU, no problem. I know there are plenty of users out there running SMP unix boxes. Any Win32 dual users out there? Originally I was seeing problems in Apache/FastCGI. Apache was actually occasionally throwing up an illegal access window with ruby.exe as the title. I uninstalled Apache and tried to get it going on Webrick and discovered that even that wasn''t working. Ray -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
