ok - someone pointed me at this discussion https://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994/tickets/1339
and i tried this patch https://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994/tickets/1339#ticket-1339-29 which seems to have worked. But there might be memory leaks as a consequence, though in dev mode only. I'm a bit none the wiser for a lot of that discussion's overall conclusions (if there were any, it seemed quite unresolved apart from agreeing to try to fix it later rather than now). -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
