That just means you're using it wrong. Rails was *never* intended= to be
run as a CGI, it's just a ridiculuous thing to do. Run Rails as a
persistent webserver and proxy to it; or run it under Apache using
Phusion Passenger, which will also run any other Rack-based application.

that really threw me for a loo= p for a while.=A0
