I have been using cucumber recently (http://cukes.info/). It indirectly depends on the Polyglot gem that you are maintaining.
I had a problem today! My application uses certain parts of rails that depend on certain errors being raised. When I
took a look at lib/polyglot.rb it seems that it is the intention to re-raise the original error. However, by using just
"rescue" on line 57, only errors that inherit from StandardError are being caught. This means that any errors
that inherit from ScriptError (including LoadError and MissingSourceFile) won't be caught and the original error won't
be re-raised.

I believe the attached patch addresses the issue by specifically rescuing LoadError.

I am sorry that I didn't upload the patch originally. Here it is
