Anyone running Mongrel and using it for file uploads will likely want to
install this:

http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/releases/cgi_multipart_eof_fix-1.0.0.gem

It's a patch for an as-yet-undisclosed DoS vulnerability in the Ruby cgi.rb's
multipart POST handling.

We were having our site wedge daily (we handle a LOT of file uploads through
multipart POSTs) with Mongrel until we got it installed.
