Subject: Thread safety techniques for server applications?

Hey all,

I'm looking for some information about handling thread safety with Ruby.
I've got an application server I wrote that I need to make sure it's
thread safe. This application server is used over http requests so it's
possible multiple people hit it at once. I have some questions that will
help me determine..

1. Does using mongrel / lighttpd / webrick, ensure thread saftey? (my
application relies on these)
2. What kinds of things in the Ruby language should I NOT do that will
cause thread headaches.. (maybe static variables)?
3. What techniques can I use to go about testing thread saftey?

I'm not asking anything in reference to rails. This would be just
general Ruby thread safety ideas..

thanks..
