Description:
------------
The facility to update a row based on differences between a previous version doesn't appear to work.

The trace shows that UPDATE is never being called.

It update() works fine without the $original parameter - but this obviously means that every DB column is updated, rather than just those that have changed.

Reproduce code:
---------------
The following example from the documentation is an example that doesn't work:

person = new DataObjects_Person;
$person->get(12);
$original = $person; // clone or copy
$person->name='fred';
$person->update($original);

Expected result:
----------------
The system should perform the update.

Actual result:
--------------
Nothing - the system appears to simply ignore the update call.

Doh! Apologies. Will think before writing in future...

Bogus bug - unless you think the docs could do with a reminder for silly folk like me.
