Are you talking about Ruby/DBI?

http://ruby-dbi.rubyforge.org/git?p=ruby-dbi.git;a=blob;f=lib/dbi/row.rb;h=dcf40396ee59c6cf36ab9fec937f38f012570e4d;hb=HEAD

DBI::Row uses DelegateClass to delegate some of the behaviour to an
Array. Right now I'm not really sure how DelegateClass works
underneath, but it seems your overriding of method_missing is messing
with it.

Sorry, I don't have a solution right now.

Jesus.
