Is anyone else using the mongrel 0.3.13.3/apache2/radiant combo on RHEL  
or FC and getting the memory leaks and mongrel server crashes that I am?  
One guy commented that he was getting weird segfaults from mongrel using  
this combination too on the mongrel mailing list. It’s seemingly random  
and I have yet to be able to reproduce it. If you have a rails  
application in production running radiant, go run top and sort by memory  
and see if the mongrel running your radiant is upwards of 150+MB of RAM  
usage.

Could this be a problem with caching? Garbage collection in mongrel?  
Something else? If anyone has any leads or are experiencing the same  
things in a production mode deployment I’d like to hear it and see if we  
can track it down.

I running this combination but on FreeBSD and it works fine. I’m now  
using apache 2.2 instead of 2.0 but it worked too with 2.0.
