Rails app logging duplicate requests

Question

I have a Rails app that is generating duplicate requests for every request in development. The app is running Rails 2.3.5 with my primary development machine running Ubuntu

Answer 1

The "answer" to the problem was to move to a new directory and fetch the original code from Github. After getting everything configured and setup in the new directory the application works as it should with no duplicate requests. I still don't know why the code in the original directory borked out; I even diff'ed the directories and the only outliers were the log files.

I'm answering my own question here for the sanity of others that might experience the same problem.
