Not sure if this is intended behavior.  I have a baseClass I'm writing
tests for.  My test architecture has an instance of this baseClass
assigned as a member of TestBaseClass(unittest.TestCase) in
TestBaseClass.setUp.

The problem occurs when tests in TestBaseClass modify state within the
member baseClass instance.  I think there should be a fresh new instance
of baseClass for every test that gets run, but the old state from the
last test is still there.

Example code and output from Python 2.6.2 attached.
