----------------------------------------
I found an odd situation, when using IO.copy_stream with a File writer quack class, where the data passed to #write somehow ends overwritten, despite the instance being duped.

    class ProcIO
      def initialize(block)
        @block = block
      end
    
      # Implementation the IO write protocol, which yield the given chunk to +@block+.
      def write(data)
        @block.call(data.dup)
        data.bytesize
      end
    end
    
    rng = Random.new(42)
    body = Tempfile.new("ruby-bug", binmode: true)
    body.write(rng.bytes(16_385))
    body.rewind
    
    payload = []
    
    block = ->(data){ payload << data.dup }
    
    IO.copy_stream(body, ProcIO.new(block)) 
    
    body.rewind
    
    if payload.join != body.read
      puts "it's a bug"
    end


if you use the debugger, you'll see that the first yielded chunk has the correct bytes when yielded the first time, but when the second 1 byte chunk is yielded (IO.copy_stream reads in chunks of 16384 bytes), the first chunk string value suddenly changes. This should not happen, as the first yielded chunk was a string duped from the string yielded by IO.copy_stream (which is expected to be a buffer).
