ruby-vips: Ruby script crashes on Windows when using hist_find

Hi, I am having an issue with ruby-vips on windows. When I run some_image.hist_find it seems like ruby crashes. I condensed my problem down to the following script which reliably crashes each time for me:

require 'vips'

img = Vips::Image.new_from_file('test.jpg', access: :sequential)
puts('Loaded image')
img.hist_find
puts('Ran hist_find')

start_time = Time.now
while true
    puts "Elapsed: #{ Time.now - start_time} seconds"
end

The output is:

Loaded image
Ran hist_find
Elapsed: 0.0 seconds
[omitted]
Elapsed: 0.5107214 seconds
Elapsed: 0.5107635 seconds
Elapsed: 0.5108055 seconds
Elapsed: 0.5108474 seconds
[crash]

The expected behavior would be that the for loop runs forever, but after around 0.5 seconds it just stops without any other output and $? returns false. I initially used a tiff image but the problem persists also if I use jpeg or other image formats. Also very small and very large images do not make a difference. Removing access: :sequential from new_from_file in order to use the default VIPS_ACCESS_RANDOM method also still makes it crash. The problem only occurs if I run hist_find. When leaving out img.hist_find it runs fine.

This problem only occurs on Windows. On Linux it runs fine.

My setup: Windows 10 ruby-vips 2.1.4 ruby 2.7.5p203 (2021-11-24 revision f69aeb8314) [x64-mingw32]

To install ruby-vips I put

gem 'ruby-vips', '~> 2.0', '>= 2.0.7', :require => false

in my Gemfile and ran

bundler install

Can someone reproduce this? What could be the problem here? Thank you very much!
