Subject: [ruby-talk:5091] Hanging require

  echo "require 'ext_b'" > a.rb
  echo "require 'b'" > ext_b.rb
  echo "foo" > b.rb
  ruby -v a.rb
  ruby 1.6.0 (2000-09-19) [i686-linux]
  ./b.rb:1: undefined local variable or method `foo' for 
    #<Object:0x40187d08> (NameError)

Just like it should. But check this out:

  echo "require 'b_ext'" > a.rb
  echo "require 'b'" > b_ext.rb
  echo "foo" > b.rb

  ruby -v b_ext.rb
  ruby 1.6.0 (2000-09-19) [i686-linux]
  ./b.rb:1: undefined local variable or method `foo' for 
  #<Object:0x40187d08> (NameError)

  ruby -v a.rb
  ruby 1.6.0 (2000-09-19) [i686-linux]
  << and hangs >>
