Deadlock after issuing `Net::HTTP.get` request and using a Ruby Debug breakpoint after the request

[Chaseshak]

We noticed a thread deadlock issue with Ruby debug after our net/http version changed from 0.2.0 to 0.3.0.

When you are in the breakpoint after making any http request and you attempt to fetch your debug history (e.g. you arrow key up a few times), it crashes.

This error occurs in Ruby 3.1.3 which is using net-http (0.3.0). It does not occur in Ruby 3.1.2 (or earlier) which is using net-http (0.2.0).

Reproduction script (using net-http 0.3.0 or higher):

require "debug"
require "net/http"

Net::HTTP.get(URI.parse("https://google.com"))

Could you try latest debug.gem 1.8.0?

[Chaseshak]

Hi @ko1, thanks for the response!

I just tried this with debug 1.8.0 and I still get the deadlock error above.
