[ruby-core:107993] [Ruby master Bug#17529] Ractor Segfaults with GC enabled

Issue #17529 has been updated by wanabe (_ wanabe).


I confirmed with 3.0.0 that the issue is reproducible.
According to `git bisect`, it seems to be fixed in fff1edf23ba28267bf57097c269f7fa87530e3fa and d0d6227a0da5925acf946a09191f172daf53baf2.

```

And the following script has been modified to make it easier to try.
```
1000.times do |q|
  producer = Ractor.new do
    1000.times do |i|
      Ractor.yield true
    end
  end

  workers = (1..10).map do
    Ractor.new producer do |producer|
      while n = producer.take
        Ractor.yield nil
      end
    rescue Ractor::ClosedError
    end
  end

  loop do
    _r, prime = Ractor.select(*workers)
  end
end
```

----------------------------------------
I've been benchmarking `Ractor` on my machine with the following naive prime number generator:

```ruby
# frozen_string_literal: true

def prime?(n)
  2.upto(n - 1).none? { |i| n % i == 0 }
end

NUM_WORKERS = ARGV[0].to_i

producer = Ractor.new do
  i = 1000000

  loop { Ractor.yield i; i += 1 }
end

workers = (1..NUM_WORKERS).map do
  Ractor.new producer do |producer|
    while n = producer.take
      Ractor.yield [n, prime?(n)]
    end
  end
end

loop do
  _r, ( number, prime ) = Ractor.select(*workers)

  p number if prime
end
```

The code inevitably segfaults, and it appears to be the garbage collector.

If I stick `GC.disable` in there, the code happily chugs along for several minutes on end without a problem.
