I think I may have run into a potentially related bundler+unicorn+capistrano issue just today! 

With bundler+unicorn the shell environment does not really get cleared between USR2 restarts/forkings, which was the cause of the aforementioned GitHub ticket... PATH/RUBYOPT would just get infinitely appended to by bundler, and unicorn is happy to let you do whatever with the environment

The bug I found today cropped up while upgrading from rails 2.3.8 to rails 2.3.9 -- on deploy the new unicorn master would die with "hey you've already loaded rails 2.3.8!". Weird.

Some quick debugging showed my BUNDLE_GEMFILE environment variable was referencing a Gemfile from a (very) old capistrano release.... I'm actively debugging it now. I'm also using preload_app=true which might have contributed. 

Eirik, can you confirm any similar "old release" weirdnesses by dumping the ENV in your unicorn.rb's before_exec / before_fork?

	 STDERR.puts ENV.inspect
