Yes, it did happen. After installing fastthread, I can't reproduce it 
anymore if I uninstall it. mongrel_rails now exits with a clean 
backtrace when started without fastthread installed, and script/server 
runs webrick instead.
I don't know what exactly was causing the problem... maybe a wrong 
installed version of fastthread? The exception caught in 
lib/mongrel/gems.rb:8 was:
'no such file to load -- fastthread' - sorry, I didn't save the 
backtrace.
