[Mongrel] mongrel becoming unresponsive

[Pete DeLaurentis]

Thanks for the explanation Luis.  This makes good sense.  It seems  
like Mongrel is intercepting the stdout + sterr (puts it all into  
mongrel.log), but it's not good to work with something that isn't  
threadsafe.

Makes me wonder if the rails logs are safe if you write to them from  
different mongrels in a cluster.  Any experience with this?

Thanks,
Pete
