Unable to update database object
...here may have seen 
behavior like this before. I have a user successfully created in the 
Users table of my application. When I try to update a single column 
using:
@user = User.find(:first,
                            :conditions => ["login_name = ?", 
@login_user.login_name])
@user.new_cookie_key
@user.save
I get the error:  "NoMethodError in Users#login. You have a nil object 
when you didn''t expect it!"
The user is found OK, the new_cookie_key method works as expected, but I 
can''t save the object! I''ve removed all validation from the User model 
but...
