require() same file multiple times returns multiple instances on windows.

[talrasha007]

Env:

• node.js v0.11.13 & v0.11.12
• Windows 8.1 update 1 x64

CODE:

---- file: foo.js ----

var bar1 = require('./bar.js');

var path = require('path');
var bar2 = require(path.join(__dirname, 'bar.js'));

console.log(bar1 === bar2);

--- file: bar.js ----

console.log('bar');

Result

cmd

node foo.js

result on windows:

bar
bar
false

result on linux

bar
true

And it's ok when using node v0.10.x on windows.
