It seems reproducing only on IRB, but not without IRB.
Actually initially I had the problem running my rspec on Rails 7.0.8.
I reported here the easiest reproducible example.

**Ruby version** : ruby 3.2.2 (2023-03-30 revision e51014f9c0) [x86_64-darwin23]

From `irb`, trying to call `match?` on this regular expression causes a segmentation falut:

```ruby
irb(main):001:0> /^((a|c)|\s?){1,3}$/.match?('abc')
=> false

irb(main):002:0> /^((a|c)|\s?){1,3}$/.match?('abc')
(irb):2: [BUG] Segmentation fault at 0x000000061ba998e8

Sometimes this happens the very first time I try to execute the command, some other times I have to try a couple of times to see that Segmentation Fault (but usually within the first 5 attempts).
