I am not sure if it is merely "if it's even necessary"; if there are two tests running in parallel, with their own separate $TRASH_DIRECTORY, and one of them say "kill the agent" at the beginning, would it affect the other test, depending on the timing? I would imagine that the sockets are kept per GNUPGHOME and they are not going to interfere, so if that is the case, I do not think we mind helping folks with a buggy versions of GnuPG by having a "let's be cautious and kill a leftover agent before starting to test" patch, as long as the reason why we do so is clearly understood and documented. Thanks for digging it to the root cause.
