Comment:

 I'll modify the low-tech patcher approach (attachment:not-too-parallel-
 test-by-low-tech-patching.diff) to clean up in case of exception, like
 Brian suggested.

 Note that Michael Foord, author of mock.py, has proposed a patch for
 mock.py that would make it do everything we need. He just wants code-
 review and unit tests. See
 [http://code.google.com/p/mock/issues/detail?id=96 the mock.py ticket] to
 help with that.

 Once a version of mock.py is out with that functionality and we are
 willing to make Tahoe-LAFS depends on that version of mock then we can
 have the more succinct attachment:not-too-parallel-test-by-patching.diff
 style of mockery in our unit tests.
