Well, webrick might be hiding a problem that's caused by speed like a
race condition or similar.  When your app starts to get more traffic
you'll probably hit it again.

Take a look at the extensions you're using.  I'm betting one of them
has a threading problem or isn't written correctly.

And FYI, nginx, apache, and lighttpd will all work with webrick the
same way they work with Mongrel.
