It has to do with how we run the test in the gr_unittest.py suite.
Specifically, if you give it an XML file to save the results, it has
to run the test twice: once to output to the XML file and once to
output to the screen for feedback. If you don't provide the XML file
to output to, it will only run the test once.

Their is actually a FIXME in the gr_unittest.py file about this.
