rspec users - Oct 2006 - fixtures data persists?

I''m not sure if this is a feature or a bug, but if I load a set of
fixtures
in one context, the data remains in the database and is available to the 
next context, even if the next context doesn''t explicitly load that set
of
fixtures

context "saved User objects" do
  fixtures :users
end

context "new User objects" do

end

if I call User.find(1) from a spec in the ''new User objects''
context, it''ll
find the object loaded in the earlier context. I''d like to disable this
if
possible. Could someone tell me how?

thanks
alan

This is a Rails feature. You''d get the same behaviour with Test::Unit.

See the two "Should fixtures be transactional?" threads here:
http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/rspec-users/2006-October/thread.html

Please ask further questions about this in the Rails forum.
