$ cat t.rb
p [:__FILE__, __FILE__]
p [:__dir__, __dir__]
require './t'
$ ruby t.rb
#=>
[:__FILE__, "t.rb"]
[:__dir__, "c:/ko1/src/rb"]
[:__FILE__, "c:/ko1/src/rb/t.rb"]
[:__dir__, "c:/ko1/src/rb"]

Only the first script returns relative path by __FILE__.
I think all of __FILE__ and __dir__ should return absolute path.

# BTW, why it returns relative path?
