This is the case on JRuby but not on MRI. ## Actual behavior: The program stops with a probability of approximately 80% with the following error: ``` $ ruby -W2 adder-test.rb # terminated with exception (report_on_exception is true): Traceback (most recent call last): adder-test.rb:7:in `start_adder': Invalid Reference - probably recycled (WeakRef::RefError) Traceback (most recent call last): adder-test.rb:7:in `start_adder': Invalid Reference - probably recycled (WeakRef::RefError) ``` Although start_adder works with a WeakRef, the Adder object should still be GC marked, since Adder.new doesn't return before all calls to start_adder finished. I verified this on ruby-trunk, but get mostly the same behavior on all older MRI versions. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
