[Rubygems-developers] Fixed require_gem bug with redundent requests.

[Jim Weirich]

I've been working with Tobias Luetke in tracking down a gems bug where 
multiple versions of a gem is requested.  I've committed a fix to CVS.  Since 
this touches on some pretty basic functionality, I would like to have more 
heads looking at it.

The change is in Gem.activate and affects the way multiple requests for the 
same gem (with possibly conflicting version constraints) are handled.  

So, if you could download the CVS version and give it a try with as many 
applications as you can, I would appreciate it.

Thanks.
