Hi,

When I type `script/server`, I get the following errors:

/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/fcgi-0.8.7/lib/fcgi.bundle: [BUG] Bus Error  
ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-24) [i686-darwin9.2.0]

`script/server webrick` returns the same error.

I intend to use mongrel, not fcgi. I have no idea why I get this error.

I uninstalled all the gems and reinstalled them again, then everything  
was fixed.
