I can reproduce

...
/c/Temp/leader.rb:41:in `each'
/c/Temp/leader.rb:41:in `block (4 levels) in show_leadership'
/c/Temp/leader.rb:41:in `block (3 levels) in show_leadership'
/c/Temp/leader.rb:41:in `each'
/c/Temp/leader.rb:41:in `block (4 levels) in show_leadership'

I assume you created some weird kind of recursion via
define_finalizer.  I'm not really sure what's going on.  Can you
explain what your code is supposed to do?

Kind regards
