This is due to method fork. I expect that when a block is given to fork, 
it will only return once, but in reallity it seems that it returns 
twice, even if a block is given:

   ruby -e 'p fork do "" end'

outputs:

   4534 (the pid)
   nil

ah, I was hit by a precedence error, this should work:

   ruby -e 'p fork { "" }'

outputs:

   4534

This should not return anything else than a Fixnum.
