Bug #22381

Updated by jhawthorn (John Hawthorn) 3 days ago

```ruby 
 m = /a/.match("a").dup # dup a MatchData (has no "busy" flag set) 
 $~ = m # assign to $~ 
 /b/ =~ "b" # perform a match that sets $~ 
 an  
 p m 
 # "b" on Ruby 4.0 (and 1.8-2.7, incorrect) 
 # "a" on Ruby 3.0-3.4 (correct) 
 ``` 

 This is because the MATCH_BUSY flag isn't set correct and so the implicit match reuse (removed in #17507, re-added in #20652) mutates this escaped value
