I’m encountering an odd error when starting up apps running Edge on my  
production server (or in the console). The same app works fine in  
deployment mode on a different machine. Note, this seems to be only a  
problem with edge, as i run several apps under 1.2.1 on the same  
server and do not have any problems. Here is the full stack-trace:

What i find strange is that at one point it seems to look for  
session\_management.rb in the gem (?), while the vendor directory is  
clearly present and is otherwise used. It also seems to be related to  
Session management, which was recently changed (i use  
ActiveRecordStore and not the new default). FYI, line 13 in  
environment.rb is where the Rails::Initializer block starts. Does  
anybody have any ideas?
