Just wanted to throw this out there one more time to see if anyone has  
any ideas:

I am getting the following Runtime error when I first log onto my  
application:

"Desc " failed, does it exist? error

Notice the space after Desc…not a typo…it appears it is losing  
tablename somehow when attempting the Desc. Once I refresh the browser,  
the page comes up fine.

I found information regarding Ticket #11134…however the error still  
persists after applying the changes to oracle\_adapter.rb and rebooting  
the Mongrel cluster. I’ve tried setting allow\_concurrency to both true  
and false and no difference. This only happens running Mongrel cluster,  
if I run one instance of Mongrel everything works fine. We are running  
Rails 1.2.5 with Mongrel cluster 1.0.4. Any suggestions?

Thanks,  
Brian
