Yes, but I have been processing uploads on Unicorn since 0.99.something

Yes.

I don't believe so, and certain nothing has changed there in quite awhile.

Hm. The workers seem to be at 80-90 file descriptors each. I did catch

I don't have any non-standard Rails 2.3.10 middleware which reads rack.input.

I've only seen it once. If I manage to reproduce it I'll try with 3.3.0.
