InexactError check_top_bit

[reed-foster]

I've been occasionally running into trouble with ProgressMeter and Threads, where a call to next!(progress; ...) results in an InexactError. I'm running my code in a jupyterlab notebook with IJulia. I'm running Julia 1.10.4 with JULIA_NUM_THREADS=10 on Ubuntu 20.04.

It happens very rarely, so it's hard to pin down the cause of it. I've tried disabling the progress bar and haven't noticed the error happening.

This seems like a related issue: JuliaLang/julia#38824

Here's the stack trace:

Any help or suggestions on how I could troubleshoot this would be appreciated.
