Its hard to say.  If you run all the tests individually, they will all 
pass.  Its only when two of the tests are run together in the same 
session do you get the failing test.  That implies some interaction 
between the tests, which is not good.  My feeling was that it has 
something to do with the singleton nature of the CommandManager, which 
is why I would like to break the class into something a bit smaller and 
work with it.  Perhaps I should focus on the singleton aspect first.
