I am currently having issues uploading files to amazon S3 while using paperclip. It uploads half the files, and then chokes, with the error: IOError (closed stream) I have no idea what’s causing this, any help would be really appreciated.
Here’s the stack trace:

It looks like this is caused by a race condition between the ruby garbage collector and Tempfile.
Someone developed a patch for rails projects here: https://github.com/jwinky/ruby_tempfile_ioerror
