Description

Tested on Windows, and built with mingw-w64 5.1

Using require from either mirb or a script ran with mruby will work fine for a standard .rb script, but attempting to load .mrb bytecode compiled from that same script causes an immediate crash.

Research direction

Reproduce the crash on Windows with mingw-w64 5.1 from mirb or an mruby script, comparing require of the standard .rb file with the corresponding .mrb bytecode. Done means requiring the .mrb file completes without an immediate crash.
