Ceki, This is an excellent suggestion. And, I had not thought that the order of the plugin shutdown would be different, but now it is obvious. It is indeterminate, at best. How can I account for this in the test file comparisons? I can break the multiple plugin shutdown case into its own test case to make this easier to deal with.
