Rails - Feb 2010 - Model using STI new function only working partially

Hi,
I have an application using STI on a model named Publisher.  Publisher
uses STI via a column named "service".  When I call
--
p = Publisher.new(..., :service => "TwitterPublisher")
--
the service does not get assigned, yet all other columns do.  However,
if I later call
--
p[:service] = "TwitterPublisher"
--
all is well.  Any ideas about what is going on?  My environment is
Ruby 1.9/1.8.6 with Rails 2.3.5 running on MinGW(1.9) and Linux (1.8.6
- on Heroku).  Any idea as to what is going wrong?

Best Regards,
Solly

inheritance_column (service in this case) is automatically protected
against mass-assignment. If you examine your logs carefully, you
should see some messages about that.
