can't cover with mocha when using mock-fs

[fiws]

Hi I am using this command istanbul cover _mocha -- -u exports -R spec test/**/*.js

and getting this error:

 "stack": [
   "Error: ENOENT, no such file or directory '/home/fiws/npm/lib/node_modules/istanbul/lib/assets'",

and the process hangs. Seems to be related to mock-fs used by the tests..

probably project related.

Are you calling mock.restore() in the tear down method? See the first example in the mock-fs README and this issue.
