Weird time class problem

I have a huge rails application here, and it fails when running
tests and I really don’t know why.
Everything started after putting rails 1.1.6 in vendor/ but still,
the error doesn’t make any sense to me, and it doesn’t give me enough
informations to try to track the problem in the source code.
