I’ve having issues with some part of Mongrel start up process stalling  
with  
versions of Mongrel greater than 1.1

Using Mongrel Gem version 1.1 both

./script/server and ./merb

boot fine

But from gem version 1.1.1 both processes stall immediately

I can get it to continue by attempting to force quit with CTRL -C

system info

Mac OS X 10.5.5  
Ruby 1.8.7 (2008-05-31 patchlevel 0) [i686-darwin9.5.0]

And

Mac OS X 10.5.5  
Ruby 1.8.7 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 72) [i686-darwin9.5.0]

Is there a way I can get further information of what is happening in the  
boot up sequence to investigate further.

Thanks

I’m noticing the exact same problem with Tiger (10.4) on a PPC. If you  
figured out the problem, I’d love to hear it.
