[Mongrel] [WARN] Got 99% CPU?

[Michael Moen]

Zed- We're seeing processes go off and become "dead", they continue  
to accept connections, but the don't do anything useful.

We had manually applied your one-liner from r356 and the problem went  
down quite a bit. We are still seeing an occasional process drift off  
and now we are getting a trace in the log.

I'm responding to this here as it is a production site and a fairly  
high volume one http://jibjab.com , but we are not seeing high CPU  
usage, in fact the dead processes aren't using any to speak of.

Thanks in advance for you time and any tips on how we can track this  
down.
Michael
