Although I didn't state it in my original post, we run these tests under nose
in multi-process mode. Each process would have its own copy of the receipts
dictionary.
Yes, I know I can force all the tests in a class to be in the same process, but
these are some of the slower tests in our suite, so we *want* them to run in
parallel.
