Does anybody know what could possibly be causing my error?

Somehow action\_controller got into a state where it was retuning not  
found for about 4 out of every 5 requests, seemingly arbitrarily.

Has anybody else ever experienced this? I’ve heard that apache and  
fastcgi is not the best solution, do you think this is fcgi’s fault?  
Could it be a bug in my ruby code? Could it be a bug in my version of  
rails?

Restarting my site via:  
touch dispatch.fcgi  
seemed to do the trick

Here’s the error:
