Bug #677: LoadError bug in irb/init.rb
http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/677

Author: Daniel Berger
Status: Open, Priority: Normal

There's a plain rescue that should explicitly check for LoadError in irb/init.rb, since LoadError is not a subclass of StandardError:

     for m in @CONF[:LOAD_MODULES]
       begin
        require m
-      rescue
+      rescue LoadError
        print $@[0], ":", $!.class, ": ", $!, "\n"
       end
     end

This solved a problem I had on a Windows box where I didn't have readline installed but was trying to use irb.

Regards,

Dan
