# Don't fix it

reading the bug tracker is a good thing

Ended up looking for related errors in the bug tracker in ruby  - and found one reported 3 months ago tied to activesupport and a run-away process.

Especially, Jeremy Evans had a suggested patch at <https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/17494#note-9> - I applied this and recompiled - and confirmed the issue went away (complete Gem set from Michael's branch, no run-away process, bin/setup completed without issue) - as a guard I re-ran against the rbenv installed unpatched ruby 3.0.0 binary and confirmed there still was a problem (I didn't accidentally fix this somewhere else) - and I'm parking this effort on "watch for #17494 to be resolved"
