https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20284

* Author: jbeschi (jacopo beschi)
* Status: Open
* Priority: Normal
* ruby -v: 3.3.0
* Backport: 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN, 3.3: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
I've noticed that the Regexp::TimeoutError is not triggered for this Regexp:


```ruby
jacopo-37s-mb 3.3.0 ~ cat fail.rb
require 'benchmark'

p RUBY_DESCRIPTION
Regexp.timeout = 0.1
puts "Regexp.timeout: #{Regexp.timeout}"
re = /((a|aa)+)+b/
10.times do
  p Benchmark.realtime { re.match?("a" * 900000000) }
end
```

```
