Models not reloading in development in Rails (3.2.11) project

Question

I've searched fairly extensively for any advice and have yet to find it so, here goes:

My Rails project fails to automatically reload models in development. Reloading them currently requires a full server restart.

Previous instances of this issue have been related to non-activerecord files placed in the models directory, though this is not the case for me.

config.cache_classes is properly set to false in my development config file. Views and controllers reload without issue.

All of my rails components are version 3.2.11. I have tried disabling all of my development-specific gems to no avail. This is obviously not a productivity stopper, but it is quite an annoyance. Any help appreciated and I am happy to provide more information if it would help, though I am not using any exotic gems.

Thanks!

Some possibilities:

1. You are not really running on developement environment
2. You are changing a model within a namespace and didn't told rails to autoload the path
3. You are changing a file that is included in your class, not your class directly (or any of the many variants for this)
4. You are caching classes

Considerations:

1. Things might change according to the webserver you are using
