What kind of problems?

Is preload_app true or false?  (default is false)

preload_app being true will cause that background thread to get
started in the master process and not the workers.  You can
workaround it by starting th background thread in an after_fork
hook in the Rainbows!/unicorn config file:

I'm often lazy when it comes to setting up hooks myself :x

So for background threads, I prefer to start it in the app stack
on the first request (use a mutex to protect against double-starts).
For rails, you can probably do it in a before_filter.

Raindrops::Watcher is a Rack app (no other framework, just rack)
which starts a background thread in the #call method:

	git clone git://bogomips.org/raindrops raindrops
	cat raindrops/lib/watcher.rb
