I'd prefer to use Kernel.load() if possible.  Try this:

def Kernel.chdirAndLoad( dir, file, wrap=false )
  oldPwd = Dir.pwd

  begin
    Dir.chdir( dir )
    Kernel.load( file, safe )
  ensure
    Dir.chdir( oldPwd )
  end
end

puts "PWD = #{Dir.pwd}"

Kernel.chdirAndLoad(
"C:\\Programme\\GNU\\CygWin\\home\\Administrator\\bin\\test",
"load-test-loaded.rb" )

puts "PWD = #{Dir.pwd}"

Cheers
