Hello,  
Weird problem I am experiencing. I can upload files to my s3 account,  
but maybe after 4 times, my rails app starts to no longer upload. If i  
killall -user dispatch.fcgi, I can upload again for a few times before  
it stops. any ideas?

here is my prod.log

EOFError (end of file reached):
