Bug #12846: Crash in Ranges
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/12846

* Author: Osanda Jayathissa
* Status: Open
* Priority: Normal
* Assignee: 
* ruby -v: ruby 2.3.1p112 (2016-04-26 revision 54768) [x64-mingw32]
* Backport: 2.1: UNKNOWN, 2.2: UNKNOWN, 2.3: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
We can crash a computer by making it's Disk and Memory to 100% and CPU too above 50%.

The issue is when performing illogical ranges and converting them to an array.

Proof of Concept:
('malith'..'osanda').to_a

I have tested on a 64-bit Windows 10 machine. After few minutes the whole PC would get stuck and the user will have to restart the PC.
