I have a Rails application which runs just fine in both development  
and production mode on the development system, which is Mac OS X. Not  
Edge Rails, but the last release. However, when I deploy the app to  
the production system, FreeBSD 6.1, AMD-64, I get consistent errors  
on many of the controllers, but not all.
What happens is that ActionView seems to pass the wrong kind of  
object to the views. Thus I get
> undefined method `event_levels'' for
#<#<Class:0x18298c0>:0x1829870>
and
> Extracted source (around line #16):

Where the "Class" object in this case should be an Event. The same  
thing goes for other types of objects, such as Payments. It is  
completely consistent when it appears, it happens in both production  
and development mode on the deployment system, but some of the  
controllers/views do not seem to be affected at all.
It seems that it affects views which do explicit rendering using  
shared templates, but it is not consistent. Some views break even if  
they do not use any shared templates. It also seems to affect most of  
the controllers located in a subfolder to app/controllers - /admin/ -  
but again, not consistently so. (I remember reading somewhere that  
there are problems with subfolders in the controller folder, but  
again, some of the controllers work as they should.)
It should be pointed out that this does *not* happen with another app  
deployed to the same FreeBSD machine. The malfunctioning app is the  
newer one. The behaviour is the same under Webrick, Mongrel and  
LiteSpeed.
I can see no recurring pattern at all. Any ideas before I start  
tracing the internals of Rails?
