Subject: [ruby-core:28041] Re: [Bug #2710] Kernel#load loads a relative path

> It was my understanding that Kernel#require was changed to not load a relative path because of a security issue (http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-core/24155). Does this security issue not apply to Kernel#load, too? Have I misunderstood the expected behavior?

My own desire would be that load *only* take relative paths, but
that's a discussion for another day.
