Problem is present in Ruby 3.2.2, 3.2.3, 3.3.0. Didn't check before.

Put this in a file:

10.times do
  100000.times do
    Encoding.default_internal = nil
  end
  puts `ps -o rss= -p #{$$}`.to_i
end

Result:

$ ruby local.rb

33116
36284
39452

Ah, thank you! I would have expected that to be in 3.3-head too.
