1852	test suite: find a way to prevent unclean reactor errors causing subsequent test failures	davidsarah	daira	"For example, in the 666-accounting branch, if {{{test_mutable.Filenode.test_modify_backoffer}}} is reenabled, it will fail with an unclean reactor error and subsequent tests will time out.

Probably this is due to some non-obvious sharing of global state between tests (it doesn't '''always''' happen that an unclean reactor error causes subsequent timeouts).

In any case, it makes it difficult to run the test suite the whole way through when some tests cause this problem. One rather brute-force solution would be to exit on an unclean reactor error and restart the test process from the next test. I can't see a way to do that without forking trial, though. Another possibility is to try to use [http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/browser/trunk/twisted/test/proto_helpers.py?rev=35925#L364 twisted.test.proto_helpers.MemoryReactor]."	defect	closed	normal	soon	code	1.9.2	wontfix	test twisted-trial unclean reactor timeout hang	zooko
