[Dev] are functional tests broken ?

[John Anderson]

After looking into this a bit more I think that my new TestBlocks 
functional test, when run at the beginning, reveals a real bug -- which 
I will fix. Longterm it would be nice to be able to run all the 
functional tests separately and together as a way of narrowing down such 
failures.
