Bug #9244: unexpected behaviour of 'require' when $LOAD_PATH gets changed
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/9244#change-53539

* Author: Sylvain Joyeux
* Status: Feedback
* Priority: Normal
* Assignee: 
* ruby -v: 1.9.3p484, 2.0.0p353, 2.1.2
* Backport: 1.9.3: UNKNOWN, 2.0.0: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
For the purpose of reproducing the error, let's assume that I have two folders ```a``` and ```b``` which both contain a file ```test.rb```

In the following script, ```b/test.rb``` will NOT get loaded:

```
 $LOAD_PATH.unshift File.join(Dir.pwd, 'a')
 require 'test.rb'
 $LOAD_PATH.unshift File.join(Dir.pwd, 'b')
 require 'test.rb'
```

I would have expected this behaviour before, when required files were not registered through their absolute paths in $LOADED_FEATURES. Right now, I find it confusing.
