Kernel#load loads a relative path

Description

=begin
It was my understanding that Kernel#require was changed to not load a relative path because of a security issue (http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-core/24155). Does this security issue not apply to Kernel#load, too? Have I misunderstood the expected behavior?

$ cat a.rb
puts 1

$ cat b.rb
load 'a.rb'
require 'a.rb'

$ ruby1.8.7 -v b.rb
ruby 1.8.7 (2009-12-24 patchlevel 248) [i686-darwin9.8.0]

$ ruby1.9 -v b.rb
