Sluggish Webrick?

Hi, I noticed recently that style sheets and javascrips in my rails app under development does not loads properly, when I tried to access it this is what I got:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0//EN"> <HTML>   <HEAD><TITLE>Internal Server Error</TITLE></HEAD>   <BODY>     <H1>Internal Server Error</H1>     private method `gsub!' called for #&lt;Class:0xb672cd18&gt;     <HR>     <ADDRESS>

     WEBrick/1.3.1 (Ruby/1.8.7/2010-01-10) at      localhost:3000     </ADDRESS>   </BODY> </HTML>

Any body knows whats wrong and how to fix it?
