Let me explain a problem I had with Sequel and Unicorn (already solved),
perhaps it's related:
I load Sequel database toolkit in the master process so it generates its own
threads pool.
Then Unicorn forks into workers but each worker uses the same instance of
Sequel database, this is, the same threads pool.
This causes errors since some thread could be used by different processes at
the same time.
The solution is simple:
Don't set the Sequel instance in the master process, instead do it in each
worker ("after_fork" block in unicorn config file).
In this way each process has its own Sequel instance with its own threads
pool.
Also, using Sequel thread pool makes no sense when using Unicorn as each
worker is single thread, so I gain some performance by setting
"single_threaded = true" in Sequel database configuration (no thread pool
stuff).
Probably you are getting a similar issue due to ActiveRecord or any other
multithread library you load in the master process so the instance is shared
between all the workers.
