Bug #22015: Success without RUBY_BOX=1, Failure with RUBY_BOX=1
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/22015

* Author: niku (niku _)
* Status: Open
* ruby -v: ruby 4.1.0dev (2026-04-24T13:35:04Z master 52ee497f36) +PRISM [arm64-darwin25]
* Backport: 3.3: UNKNOWN, 3.4: UNKNOWN, 4.0: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
```
$ ruby -v
ruby 4.1.0dev (2026-04-24T13:35:04Z master 52ee497f36) +PRISM [arm64-darwin25]
```

```
$ ruby -e 'require "bundler/inline"; gemfile {}'
```

It ran fine as expected, but it failed when I added RUBY_BOX=1.

```
$ RUBY_BOX=1 ruby -e 'require "bundler/inline"; gemfile {}'
ruby: warning: Ruby::Box is experimental, and the behavior may change in the future!
See https://docs.ruby-lang.org/en/master/Ruby/Box.html for known issues, etc.
