It was actually this latest update that seemed to break things for me.
 I was running Ruby 1.8.4 around the beginning of the week without any
problems.  It was just after I updated another server running Rails
apps yesturday that I started having problems.  I then updated my
desktop computer's Ruby port today to see if it would also break my
Rails apps, and it did.

I made a Ruby 1.8.2 package from a third server with an older ports
tree, and installed that back on my live server to get things up and
running again.

I'm currently running ruby-1.8.4_2,1 on FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE.

Thanks for your help.
