Gary,

My environments file had the following line:

RAILS_ENV  = ENV['RAILS_ENV'] || 'development'

I was assuming that when DH said it switched to production, that  
meant ENV['RAILS_ENV']='production'.  To be on the safe side, I've  
changed this line to:

RAILS_ENV  = 'production'

After I made that change, I did another "killall -9 dispatch.fcgi;  
rake sweep_cache" (even though it wasn't locked up) and I noticed  
that it started responding again immediately.  I don't know if this  
is because it wasn't locked up before I killed it or if it is because  
of the environment change.  I will report back tomorrow if I  
experience any more lockups after this change.

Also, when I said that I tried running in 'developer' mode, I meant  
with "script/server -e development" and using port 3000.  I guess  
this means I used WeBrick (but I'm still learning the lingo).
