Rack::Session:Cookie error using Sinatra, Thin, Rails, and Rack::Cascade

I have a combined Sinatra/Rails app that shares a session using Rack::Session::Cookie. The app works fine when started with Rack::Handler::Thin.run app, but if the rackup file is start with thin start, I get an error in Rack::Session::Cookie:

!! Unexpected error while processing request: no marshal_dump is defined for class Proc

The rackup file looks like this:

require ::File::dirname(__FILE__) + '/config/environment'
require 'thin'

app = Rack::Builder.new {
  use Rails::Rack::Static
  run Rack::Cascade.new([Sinatra::Application, ActionController::Dispatcher.new])
}.to_app

use Rack::Session::Cookie, :key => '_example', :domain => 'example.org',
  :secret => 'secret'

# have to use this
Rack::Handler::Thin.run app, :Port => 4000, :Host => "0.0.0.0"
# want to use: run app

---

Have you tried something like this:

app = Rack::Builder.new {
  use Rack::Session::Cookie, :key => '_example', :domain => 'example.org', :secret => 'secret'
  use Rails::Rack::Static
  run Rack::Cascade.new([Sinatra::Application, ActionController::Dispatcher.new])
}.to_app

Looks like your problem is that you're using Rack::Session::Cookie outside of app.
