[Rails] Re: rspec: identical tests fails when repeated

MORE UPDATE: I beefed up the tests to look at the return code, the # of
Premises generated and the assignment. And things only got stranger:

context "POST create" do

context "with user logged in" do
before(:each) do
@user = mock_model(User, :admin? => false, :guest? => false)
controller.stub(:current_user) { @user } # aka login
@attributes = valid_attributes
end

it "should create a new Premise" do
count = Premise.count
post(:create, {:premise => @attributes}, :format => :json)
Premise.count.should == count + 1
response.message.should == "OK"
assigns(:premise).should be_instance_of(Premise)
end

it "should create a new Premise again" do
count = Premise.count
post(:create, {:premise => @attributes}, :format => :json)
Premise.count.should == count + 1
response.message.should == "OK"
assigns(:premise).should be_instance_of(Premise)
end

end
end

NOW what happens:

- the first test fails with response.message = "Not Acceptable"
- the second test fails because count is not incremented.

Why should there be any difference between the two?
