When I run script/server, Mongrel hangs. If I ctrl-c, it does this…

Gavin$ script/server  
^C=\> Booting Mongrel (use ‘script/server webrick’ to force WEBrick)  
=\> Rails application starting on [http://0.0.0.0:3000](http://0.0.0.0:3000)  
=\> Call with -d to detach  
=\> Ctrl-C to shutdown server

…and then hangs again. What’s going on? I’ve removed and  
reinstalled Mongrel with no effect. This all started when I did ‘gem  
cleanup’. Perhaps I removed some dependency? How do I get this  
working again?
