I've read about some packages that return false when they are require'd
through rubygem's special version of require, and I think I understand the
issue well enough. But this behavior has me confused anew...

Included are the transcripts from two separate irb sessions where I attempt
to require RMagick. Apparently the only way I can get the library loaded is
by require'ing it twice but switching the case of the first two letters
between calls to require.

Thanks in advance for any help with this,
John Emerson Conrad
