This is probably due to rubygems requiring "thread".  I suspect that
when you do the "require 'queue'", rubygems gets activated (attempting
to find the "queue.rb" file).

When rubygems is activated, it requires thread, which contains Queue.

    $ irb
    irb(main):001:0> Queue
    NameError: uninitialized constant Object::Queue
    from (irb):1
    from /Users/aaron/.ruby19/bin/irb:12:in `<main>'
    irb(main):002:0> require 'thread'
    =3D> true
    irb(main):003:0> Queue
    =3D> Queue
    irb(main):004:0> exit
    $ irb
    irb(main):001:0> require 'rubygems'
    =3D> true
    irb(main):002:0> Queue
    =3D> Queue
    irb(main):003:0>

Note that when rubygems stops requiring thread, this example will fail.
