FWIW I'm using SimpleTest 1.1alpha.

I have a singleton class, and I want to write a unit test that guarantees that the class is a singleton by attempting to instantiate the class (it has a private constructor).

This obviously causes a Fatal Error:

Fatal error: Call to private FrontController::__construct()

Is there any way to "catch" that Fatal Error and report a passed test?
