rubyinstaller2: Windows Ruby 3.1 - Open3 #capture2 causes IRB console to become unresponsive

I have also filed a ticket with ruby/open3 repo here: https://github.com/ruby/open3/issues/9, but this seems more like a Windows-specific issue as it works on Linux/Mac.

The following script will cause IRB console to become unresponsive on Ruby 3.1 on Windows installed by the Windows Ruby Installer x64-mingw-ucrt. This is using the version of Open3 packaged with Ruby (0.1.1)

$> irb

require 'open3'
Open3.capture2('ver')

# after this, the IRB console becomes unresponsive

The following script will cause IRB console to become unresponsive on Ruby 3.1

Testing with Ruby 3.1.2 and Ruby master (ruby 3.2.0dev (2022-06-26T02:16:11Z master a782d76fbe) [x64-mingw-ucrt]), I have the same result.

@mohits I appreciate it.

@johnnyshields - I checked both Ruby 3.0 and Ruby 3.1 on my system (though I only posted the result from 3.1) and both worked fine. The installation is also bog-standard - https://notepad.onghu.com/2022/ruby3.1-windows-day0-install-hello_world/ - nothing special in it.
