[Twisted-Python] testing for error conditions

I've got a little test program that checks to make sure my protocol
behaves correctly. Each function returns a deferred, and sets the
next function as the callback, and some common function as errback.
This seems to work great -- the test runs through all the test funcs
when working properly, and halts at the problem point if not.
But now I want to verify that I get errors (errbacks) in all the
places I should. I was hoping to do the same thing as before, only
now swap the function of the errbacks with that of the callbacks.
This doesn't seem to work. Returning a deferred from an errback still
results in its parent errbacks getting called, terminating the test
program prematurely.
Whats the right way to test conditions that should trigger errbacks?
I couldn't see a tutorial or doc that covered this.
Thanks,
Gary
