Hey guys!

A problem popped up today with Mongrel. Its process continues to die  
and I seem can’t locate the reason. Logs are clear, and PID is left  
untouched, but the process is gone. Currently I’m pinging a server  
over and over to spot the moment the process leaves to get even the  
slightest clue as to what’s going on.

I’m not a newbie, but it puzzles me much. Any advice where to look?  
Maybe someone saw this before? Forums and Google search are of little  
help so far.

Ruby 1.8.4 / Rails 1.2.3 / Mongrel 1.0.1

The application uses Ferret 0.11.4 and Sphinx.

Thanks,  
Aleksey
