[Andrey Mitrofanov]

Package: mongrel
Version: 1.1.5-5

After rails package upgraded from 2.2.3-2 to 2.3.5-1 rails app breaks
when run in mongrel_cluster with a log record like this:

A quick search shows that the problem is discussed at
https://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994/tickets/4690-mongrel-doesnt-work-with-rails-238

Patch rails238_mongrel115_patch.diff from the ticket above applied to
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/mongrel/cgi.rb fixed the problem for me.

Thanks!
