Hmm...  this is most odd.  Ah ha!  Looks like a combination of a few
things were getting in the way and causing this problem.

1) Object::Date is set someplace inside of dbi
2) auto-reload was being used
3) auto-reload performs a basic mapping between the class name and the
   file system which was causing problems between
   /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.6/date.rb and dbi's definition of date.

Yeah, auto-reload doesn't mesh so well with DBI: auto-reload was
finding the wrong date module (date.rb, not DBI's class Date).  The
work around is to turn off auto-reload.  -sc
