You can check for yourself:
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/4285

Note, while looking into this I opened a few bugs today:
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/7086
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/7087
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/7088

:-)

My solution timeout_1 could be used but it will keep the background 
thread running.  You could change it like so:

def timeout_5(timeout, &code)
   raise ArgumentError, "Invalid timeout: %p" % [timeout] unless timeout > 0
   raise ArgumentError, "No code to execute" if code.nil?

   worker = Thread.new(&code)

   if worker.join(timeout)
     worker.value
   else
     worker.kill rescue nil
     # worker.raise Exception, "Stop"
     nil
   end
end


Kind regards
