I admit: this did occur to me on the train this am. While I try to think of a robust way to handle this, other people have proposed variations on pid-based / tempdir based filenames instead of the same name for each test. In principle this sounds good to me, but I'm not at all well-placed to assess the impact it might have on the unit tests in general.
