[BUG] Segmation fault in combination of heavy socket I/O and multi-threading

This is one bug(Or perhaps even a set of bugs) I ran into more then once 
during the development of Radical, it is often solveable by forcing only 
one thread to run the inducer code concurrently, i.e. using 
Thread.critical or Mutex.

I had a problem reproducing the matter in simple TCP/IP snippets, 
however, I have managed reproducing it using a heavly stripped version 
of Radical, using pure ruby code(no extensions).

The initial way to reproduce the bug was using siege HTTP benchmarking 
tool available here:
http://www.joedog.org/siege/
(Or if you are using debian/gentoo you may use apt-get/emerge siege)

Then on one console:

# bzip2 -dc ruby-bug.tar.bz2|tar xv
# cd httpserve
# gdb ruby
gdb> ruby ./radical.rb
Radical =>

On the second console:
siege -b -c 100 -t 120S -u http://localhost:4000/blender

Initially things will go right, but the response times will slowly rise, 
and after a while(less then a minute mostly) the interepter will crash 
in some manner.
NOTE: In one occaction the interepter hanged and started mallocing like 
mad until it was killed by the kernel, so when performing this test 
please be aware the stability of your system might be in risk.

This is for instance one backtrace I was able to produce:
Radical=>

All of these gdb dumps are from ruby 1.6.8...

As an attempt to produce pure-ruby bug reproduction enviroment, I have 
written a simple http request flooder to fit the role of siege:
require 'net/http'
x=Net::HTTP.new 'localhost',4000
1.upto 15 do
  Thread.new do
    while 1
      x.get '/blender'
    end
  end
end
while 1
  sleep 1
end

This code is also included in the tar/gz. however, running it may also 
cause the interepter to chock:
Starting program: /usr/bin/ruby fetcher.rb
