collection_select broken in 2.1.x?

Greetings,

Can someone verify for me if collection_select is broken in Rails 2.1.x? I have an administrative form where an administrator can update the subscription level of a user. In the partial I say

<%= collection_select(:user, :subscriptiontype_id, Subscriptiontype.find(:all), :id, :dropdown_description) %>

which is almost verbatim-copied from the documentation

collection_select(:post, :author_id, Author.find(:all), :id, :name_with_initial, {:prompt => true})

The dropdown shows the proper entries but the current value of user.subscriptiontype_id is never selected.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

The dropdown shows the proper entries but the current value of user.subscriptiontype_id is never selected.

OK, nevermind, I had created user.subscriptiontype_id with the wrong type (string). Fixing this fixed the problem.
