[Locomotive-users] strange behavior in production

[Steven Talcott Smith]

I recently try to deploy on a G4 in production mode.  The site works,  
but when I perform a certain query, the system hangs and I have to  
stop and restart the server process.  Ruby ends up spinning and  
taking up all the CPU.

I tried an identical configuration on a Core Duo (same I as I use in  
development) and it works flawlessly.

They are using the same version of MySQL.  Same everything except the  
architecture of the CPU as far as I can tell.

I have run the identical queries that it should run and these execute  
just fine.

Eventually I would like to upgrade my server to a Core Duo but it  
will take a couple days to configure and send off to colo.  Anyway, I  
am a little disturbed that I could not get it to run on my existing  
setup.

An ideas on where to look?
