Rails url helpers in subdomains - remove the subdomain

A user on my site can have a subdomain. So for example, their page url is 

name.example.com

Logged in users are able to view more user information so on the user's show page, I have a link that is generated with the following code:

user_url(@user, :subdomain => false)

This link should generate the following url (where @user has an ID of 19) 

example.com/users/19

When I hover over the link, all looks good (i.e., in the bottom of the browser window, both Safari and FF show the link correctly.)

Problem is when I click the link, the site raises a 404 and the url is:

example.com/users/19

Anyone know what happened to the slash between com and users and how do I get it back?

BTW, Rails 3.2 and everything works in development. This issue only arises in production.

First suggestion was using path helper instead of user helper, but editing that as I don't think that helps.

Have you tried root_url(:host => request.domain) to lose the subdomain, instead of your approach? I got that from here: https://github.com/rails/rails/issues/2025
