----------------------------------------
I have a situation where a hash (contained within a Set) seems to get duplicate keys. I've had some difficulty reproducing the issue in a minimal fashion, but I have a 175-ish-line program that runs it. (Just for context, if you want to know what's doing what, it's meant to solve https://adventofcode.com/2020/day/22 part 2.)

When I run it on my machine, it will quickly error out with something like:

``` ruby
[[26, 22, 44, 16, 31, 19, 30, 10, 40, 47, 21, 48, 45], [4, 24, 1, 7, 36, 29, 38, 33, 3, 13, 11, 17, 39]]
[[26, 22, 44, 16, 31, 19, 30, 10, 40, 47, 21, 48, 45], [4, 24, 1, 7, 36, 29, 38, 33, 3, 13, 11, 17, 39]]
aoc22.rb:37:in `play_against!': #<Set: {[[26, 22, 44, 16, 31, 19, 30, 10, 40, 47, 21, 48, 45], [4, 24, 1, 7, 36, 29, 38, 33, 3, 13, 11, 17, 39]], [[26, 22, 44, 16, 31, 19, 30, 10, 40, 47, 21, 48, 45], [4, 24, 1, 7, 36, 29, 38, 33, 3, 13, 11, 17, 39]]}> (RuntimeError)
	from aoc22.rb:88:in `compete!'
	from aoc22.rb:39:in `each'
	from aoc22.rb:39:in `inject'
	from aoc22.rb:39:in `play_against!'
	from aoc22.rb:174:in `each'
	from aoc22.rb:174:in `inject'
	from aoc22.rb:174:in `<main>'
```

showing that the Set somehow contains 2 identical items.

By the way, if you replace `[stack, other_deck.stack]` with `[stack, other_deck.stack].hash` on lines 32 and 40, the program executes successfully.

I've been able to reproduce on multiple versions of Ruby up to 2.7.0. I'd test on a Ruby 3 preview also, but I've had trouble installing it, sorry.
