Subject: Using FxRuby and Test::Unit.

I've been trying to write some code Test First using Test::Unit and FxRuby
and I'm having some problems.

Here is an example showing the problem I'm having.

///START///

require 'Test/Unit'
require "fox"

class TestClass < Test::Unit::TestCase	
	def set_up
		@app = Fox::FXApp.new('foo', 'bar')
	end	
	
	def test1	
	end		
	
	def test2
	end			
end

///END///

Results in :

///START///

Loaded suite FoxProblemDemo
Started...
...FoxProblemDemo.rb:6: [BUG] Segmentation fault

abnormal program termination
ruby 1.6.6 (2001-12-26) [i586-mswin32]
>Exit code: 3

///END///

The problem doesn't show up until the second test method is added. I'm
guessing that when set_up is called a second time a second application
object is create and that this is not allowed in Fox. I tried to get round
this by re-using the application object but this didn't help. I'm trying to
test a FXMainWindow sub-class and I get similar problems when I try to
instantiate a second instance using the same FXApp object.

Any have any pointers on how to use FXRuby and Test::Unit together would be
appreciated.
