so don't call exit.

really.

since it is the last thing you're doing anyways, what is it doing for  
you? Nothing.

if you HAVE to call exit (and you don't), then do this in your tests:

alias :old_exit :exit
def exit
   # no
end

On second thought. Get rid of script_clean entirely. It is useless.  
Use Tempfile instead and you'll be happier.
