I get it.  No bug in finalizer.

In 1.9, lambda check number of arguments strictly (finalizer takes one
argument, which is object_id of the target), so that you have to
specify argument, e.g.

   at_exit { puts "at_exit function" }
   ObjectSpace.define_finalizer("string", lambda{|id| puts "in  finalizer" })
   exit
