ActiveRecord/ActiveSupport does not cast time values stored as Unix epoch in SQLite3 back to Time objects

[sgerrand]

After upgrading a Rails app (from 2.3.11 to 2.3.12) that uses Authlogic 2.1.6, I'm getting exceptions raised by the setup method used in my functional tests.

ArgumentError: comparison of ActiveSupport::TimeWithZone with 1310341488 failed
    authlogic (2.1.6) lib/authlogic/session/magic_columns.rb:82:in `>='
    authlogic (2.1.6) lib/authlogic/session/magic_columns.rb:82:in `set_last_request_at?'
    authlogic (2.1.6) lib/authlogic/session/callbacks.rb:83:in `before_save'
    authlogic (2.1.6) lib/authlogic/session/existence.rb:68:in `save'
    authlogic (2.1.6) lib/authlogic/session/existence.rb:30:in `create'
    /test/test_helper.rb:53:in `setup'

This looks like an ActiveRecord issue regarding casting time values stored as Unix epoch in SQLite3 back to a Time object,.

Hi, sgerrand, are you still experiencing this issue? If so, can you provide a specific code example or test case that demonstrates it? I'm unable to reproduce it. Otherwise, I think this they'd like to close this issue

I'm going to close this, because you mention it's a problem on Rails 2.3. If you can provide an example of this failure on 3.2.x, then we can re-open.
