'require "test/unit"' only case: Ruby bundled test-unit is
loaded because bundled test-unit is already in $LOAD_PATH.

'gem "test-unit"; require "test/unit"' case: 'gem
"test-unit"' prepends paths for gem version test-unit (not
Ruby bundled test-unit) to $LOAD_PATH. 'require "test/unit"'
finds gem version test-unit instead of Ruby bundled
test-unit.

Please try the scripts:

  'require "test/unit"' only case:
    p $LOAD_PATH
    require 'test/unit'
    p $LOADED_FEATURES

  'gem "test-unit"; require "test/unit"' case:
    require 'rubygems'
    p $LOAD_PATH
    gem 'test-unit'
    p $LOAD_PATH
    require 'test/unit'
    p $LOADED_FEATURES


Thanks,
