Comment(by nickm):

 You CAN test stuff that messes with globals.  I'm not sure why you think
 you can't.  If you want the changes to that variable to be isolated to a
 single unit test, use the TT_FORK flag to run that unit test in its own
 process.  You can access that variable by using get_or_state().

 >Also, I'm getting a compile error when I try to build with coverage:

 First try 'make clean'.  If that doesn't work, do a search for "relocation
 R_X86_64_32 against '.data' can not be used when making a shared object;
 recompile with -fPIC" .  Maybe there's an additional option we need for
 your host?  (What kind of system, building how?)
