It seems you're getting a restart/reload signal to the mongrel
process, and it is trying to reload the Rails environment calling the
reset_application! method of ActionController::Dispatcher

There is no ActionController::Dispatcher, but there is a Dispatcher in
the global namespace (::Dispatcher)?

I cannot test it since Windows don't generate the HUP signal required
for this, but I think I'm in the good path.
