I've seen this many times myself, and it sure seems to be a twitter glitch. 
Retrying the request usually succeeds.  I've seen it from GetFollowers and 
GetFriends, and maybe other API calls.

I have been retrying the GetFollowers call in my code, but coding the retry 
within FetchURL might be warranted if it affects many other API calls as well.

This may also have been an issue with the base url used, which was just fixed 
in changeset 241:dca91beb7418
