// SafeGoroutineTester is an implementation of the mock ... interface
// which can be used to use the mock functions in another go routine.
//
// The major issue is that the golang mock framework uses t.Fatalf()
// which causes a deadlock when called in another goroutine. To avoid
// this issue, this simple implementation prints the error then panics,
// which avoids the deadlock.
