After spending half a day hunting this down, I can tell you it's  
related to the salted_login_generator on Unix systems.  The files it  
drops in test/mocks/test/ called time.rb is the source of the  
problem, though I can't explain exactly WHY yet.  Windows seems  
unaffected but two different Unixes started throwing that missing  
parse() error.
