 It seems like I might be back to having a monitoring process to look
 for orphaned processes. One detail I may not have included in our
 discussion so far is that the orphanded processes are always lower in
 memory usage (~100K - ~6,000K) than properly working processes
 (~10,000K - ~14,000K). This tells me that it's probably failing before
 it even gets to the db connection. Does that make sense?
