Rails - Aug 2006 - Mongrel, development mode, and deleting/moving templates

I''m not sure what''s to blame, but it seems that if I delete or
move a
template, restarting is necessary. For example, I recently moved a 
partial from app/views/members/_login.rhtml to 
app/views/members/_login.mab, after which I got a blank-page-of-death. 
Once I restarted my Mongrel cluster, it worked. Shouldn''t changes like 
this get picked up automatically in development mode?

If you''re on a unixish system it might be faster to hit the process
with
a HUP signal to do a soft restart:

  killall -HUP mongrel_rails

This does a "soft reload" of rails, which means it also
doesn''t work
half the time, but might work quick for stuff like this.
