Thanks for cleaning this up.  We seem to have a habit for leaving
testing state around for longer than is necessary which makes it a bit
more difficult to read and understand when looking at it later.  What
would really be nice is if each test was self-contained...course that
would take a herculean effort to realize in our testsuite so I'm not
suggesting you do that :)
