IRB crashes when started from ruby/debug session in Rails #1003
Description
With a new Rails app created from rails/main, IRB consistently crashes when invoked from a ruby/debug session started using debugger on Ruby 3.3.5. This is the error and backtrace:
(rdbg) irb # command
irb_console = true # UI: Use IRB as the console (default: false)

Steps to reproduce:
rails new myapp
cd myapp
bin/rails generate scaffold message title:string
# edit app/controllers/messages_controller.rb and add "debugger" in the new action
bin/rails server
# Visit http://localhost:3000/messages/new
# Enter "irb" in the rdbg session that is started in the console
This is with debug 1.9.2, Ruby 3.3.5, and rails/main.
IRB does not crash if instead of debugger you start the IRB session using binding.irb. But that's not a replacement. Often it's useful to run in rdbg to use the full debugger, and only occasionally hoping into IRB.
