Maybe a 1.6.8 problem:

 irb
 irb(main):001:0> t,f=Time.now.to_f, 1.5
 => [1042465529.056271, 1.5]
 irb(main):002:0> puts t,f
 1042465529.056271
 1.5
 => nil
 irb(main):003:0> puts t.class, f.class
 Float
 Float
 => nil
 irb(main):004:0> puts Time.now.to_f
 1042465559.700954
 => nil
 irb(main):005:0> VERSION
 => "1.7.3"
 irb(main):006:0>
