=begin
with these files:

./in_root.rb:

Dir.chdir 'subdir'
require 'in_subdir'

subdir/
in_subdir.rb:
puts File.dirname(FILE)

with 1.8.7/1.9:

$ ~/installs/ruby_1_8_7_svn_installed/bin/ruby -v top.rb
ruby 1.8.7 (2009-01-14 revision 21505) [x86_64-linux]
/home/rdp/dev/file__bug/subdir/config/boot

with 1.8.6:
$ ~/installs/ruby_1_8_6_svn_installed/bin/ruby -v top.rb
ruby 1.8.6 (2009-02-25 patchlevel 355) [x86_64-linux]
./config/boot

which I believe is unexpected.
Thanks!

It was expected. The change is a side effect of changeset
from r18197 through 18253.

Is this behavior desired then?
