Anyone have any idea why this error is occuring?

[http://pastie.org/505297](http://pastie.org/505297)

I am creating a plugin that provides a configurable logger. When I set  
the logger to be Logger.new(STDOUT), things work fine. When I set it to  
be Rails.logger, I get the above message.

Any insight?

I appreciate it.

For the record, I fixed this by delaying the loading of the Rails  
environment until within the daemonized process.

Got the idea from here:
