This is a simple question on guide lines of writing a test case, and has 
raised due to failure of tests for patch http://review.gluster.org/4567 
in particular.

Looks like the failure of the tests for this patch (logs here 
http://build.gluster.org/job/regression/729/consoleFull ) are due to 
missing 'cleanup;' at the end of the script added in this patch. But the 
question is, should the test script always 'assume' it starts from a 
clean slate, or should it call a 'cleanup;' at the beginning all the time?

It would help me to review the patchsets by having clear answer to this.
