Looks like a bug in ImageMagick that's probably made worse by something Mongrel does (threads or IO possibly).  I'd suggest that if you can't keep it running solid then hook up a monit process on the mongrel machine(s) to keep them going.  There's a monit sample in the mongrel gem's source under examples you can use as a start.
