Going into some detail. If imports have registration side-effects, then a test 
suite can never cleanly tear down. After each test suite run, the entire 
component architecture registry is cleared. That would also clear all your 
regstrations made during import time. There are strategies to deal with this, 
see zope.security package, but it is tedious and takes time to get fully 
right.

BTW, you can use the "--repeat/-N" option to run tests multiple times. This 
will show you, if you setup and teardown correctly.

Stephan
