Actually I was thinking of the poorly named "verify_stubs" (as opposed to
"verify_mocks") and "teardown_stubs" methods in Mocha::SetupAndTeardown.

These are to do with the "partial mocking" I mentioned in my previous email.
But perhaps you aren't using that aspect of Mocha.

If you do something like this...

now = Time.parse('2006-01-01 00:00:00')
Time.stubs(:now).returns(now)

Unless you call the methods in Mocha::SetupAndTeardown, "Time.now" will
continue to return the fixed value "now" after the test has finished.
