Subject: rake + FileUtils == warining

When I require both rake and FileUtils, i.e.

require 'rake'   # for String#ext
require 'FileUtils'

I get the following warnings:

c:/ruby186/lib/ruby/1.8/FileUtils.rb:93: warning: already initialized
constant OPT_TABLE
c:/ruby186/lib/ruby/1.8/FileUtils.rb:1163: warning: already initialized
constant S_IF_DOOR
c:/ruby186/lib/ruby/1.8/FileUtils.rb:1513: warning: already initialized
constant METHODS

Who is to blame? FileUtils, rake, or me (because I'm not supposed to
require both)?

What can I do to avoid the warnings? Please do not suggest simply
omitting FileUtils
when I'm using rake (I guess the warning results from rake also
including FileUtils).
I don't require them *directly* in the same module. Instead I have 

require 'rake'
require 'SomeOtherModule'

in one file, and SomeOtherModule.rb happens to use FileUtils, and this
causes the
warnings in the end.
