Thanks, I am sure you are right as I do not have a good enough understanding of the code around this.

Bug #21195: Crash when using IO#timeout

----------------------------------------
We have adopted the [IO#timeout](https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/18630) feature in Dalli ([ref](https://github.com/petergoldstein/dalli/pull/1025)) for I/O timeouts. We regularly see crashes in our CI environment that I was able to pinpoint to calling `IO#gets` with `IO#timeout`:

Unfortunately, I was not able to build a reproducible test. I have tried running on both Ruby 3.4.1 and 3.4.2 with no luck. The crash happens here: https://github.com/Shopify/ruby/blob/v3.4.1-pshopify3/io.c#L2632-L2643.

Please let me know if there's any more information that I can provide :-)
