This code will cause Ruby to core dump with a bus error after a number
of fetches. The number is not constant. Garbage collector acting up, or
am I at fault?

No, it's a bug, either in one of the included packages (socket, monitor, digest/md5 or openssl) or a bug in Ruby itself. If I were a betting man, I'd bet on monitor (synchronize), but that's a guess.

Which version of Ruby, btw? The Changelog indicates that there were a few touchups since 1.8.2.
