Hello,

I’m hitting a frustrating issue with my most recent rails application  
deployment. It’s running on an OSX 10.6.4 server, with ruby 1.8.7  
(2010-08-16 patchlevel 302) [i686-darwin10.4.0], and rails 2.3.8. It’s  
an intermittent issue, but results in the stack trace I’ve posted at the  
bottom of this message.

Oddly, some of the delayed\_job workers will fail at nearly the same time  
that others will be successful.

I’ve found a few other posts around that sound similar, but not exactly  
the same as the thing I’m dealing with:  
[http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/207745](http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/207745)

Would any of you with a greater breadth of experience than I have some  
insight as to what might be going on? I’d really like to squish whatever  
bug I’ve stumbled across.

Many thanks,  
Josh
