SystemStackError when using local theme

[dwelsch-esi]

I've set up the Jekyll build for the OpenSearch documentation but was unable to connect to the remote theme, so I pointed to a local one in _conf.yml:

# Build settings
markdown: kramdown
# remote_theme: pmarsceill/just-the-docs@v0.3.3
theme: just-the-docs

After running build.sh and making two changes to the doc, I get this SystemStackError:

LinkChecker: [Info] Checking /dashboards/dql/ (./_dashboards/quickstart.md)
         ... MANY, MANY repitions of this line. ...

If I turn off internal link checking in the build.sh file, this behavior goes away and the build works fine.

Thanks for reporting this @dwelsch-esi, want to try to write a test that reproduces this problem in the link checker here?

[dblock]

I had Copilot look into it, @dwelsch-esi could you try with #13? You should be able to do ruby-link-checker, github: 'dblock/ruby-link-checker', branch: ... in Gemfile + bundle install.

@dblock I'm pairing with @dwelsch-esi and while we have both seen the error he reported, right now, we can't make it happen! ARgh... When I can duplicate the error, I'll do the swap back to your branch and see what happens.... SUper frustrating!
