Some gems(for example rspec) require drb:
require "drb/drb" # It should probably be just "require 'drb'", but it's the same anyway.

/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9.1/drb/eq.rb:1: warning: loading in progress, circular require considered harmful - /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9.1/drb/drb.rb

from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9.1/drb/eq.rb:1:in <top (required)>' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9.1/drb/eq.rb:1:in require'

This is due to drb/eq.rb, with this line:
require 'drb/drb'
That seems useless to me. You will never require this file directly, as it just allow to compare DRBObject.

So, shouldn't that line be removed ?
