Issue #22386 has been updated by nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada). [GH-19096](https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/19096) ---------------------------------------- Bug #22386: Segfault when a Ractor helper thread reports an exception during teardown https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/22386#change-119231 * Author: rkh (Konstantin Haase) * Status: Open * ruby -v: ruby 4.1.0dev (2026-09-27T05:30:49Z master f6ff9e7d02) +PRISM [arm64-darwin25] * Backport: 3.3: UNKNOWN, 3.4: UNKNOWN, 4.0: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- Ruby 4.1-dev can segfault when a thread inside a terminating Ractor raises an exception in an `ensure` block. Automatic thread exception reporting tries to load error-formatting code through `require`. The require path creates an internal Ractor port after the Ractor's port table has been freed. Creating a `Ractor::Port` directly in the same teardown context also segfaults, even with automatic exception reporting disabled. Script to reproduce the issue: ```ruby worker = Ractor.new do ready = Thread::Queue.new Thread.new do begin ready << true sleep ensure Object.new.missing_method_during_teardown end end ready.pop :done end worker.value ``` Running the script on Ruby 4.1-dev gives a segmentation fault output and then hangs. ``` #<Thread:0x0000000122aa0190 issue.rb:3 aborting> terminated with exception (report_on_exception is true): [BUG] Segmentation fault at 0x0000000000000018 ruby 4.1.0dev (2026-09-27T05:30:49Z master f6ff9e7d02) +PRISM [arm64-darwin25] -- Crash Report log information -------------------------------------------- See Crash Report log file in one of the following locations: * ~/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports * /Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports for more details.
