MRI crashes with 'Stack inconsistency error' when a method which yields is called recursively in a particular way

Description

Dear Ruby people,

How are you? The other day, someone reported that a gem I maintain was crashing under MRI 2.2.2. I traced it through with GDB, found where it was going wrong, and wrote a tiny little patch which makes the crash go away. (Yay!) Can you look at this and check that this patch won't cause any other problems?

Thanks,
Alex Dowad
