nil object in create_time_zone_conversion_attribute?

Happily coding away in a Rails 2.2.2 Bort based-app, when I suddenly
start getting this error after a few requests:

NoMethodError (You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it!
You might have expected an instance of Array.
The error occurred while evaluating nil.include?):
    /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.2.2/lib/
active_record/attribute_methods.rb:142:in
`create_time_zone_conversion_attribute?''
    /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.2.2/lib/
active_record/attribute_methods.rb:75:in `define_attribute_methods''

This only appears if I authenticate to the application.  I can make a
couple of requests, then i start getting the above error.  While I
don''t think I''ve made any changes to cause something like
this, when
you''re so far removed from the low-level bits of the framework,
it''s
hard to tell.

I''ve searched the net, and while I''ve found a few hits on
this, there
are no solutions to be found.

Anyone have any suggestions?
