Comment:

 I mentioned in #4745 that the second of the three patches might fix this
 -- here is what I think happened to cause this.  The race condition in
 question caused dsage to read in a pickled object from a file before it
 was done being written to the file.  This caused mysterious failures at
 best and segfaults at worse.  With #4745 applied I ran these doctests for
 10200 iterations (~7 hours) without a single doctest failure.  I think
 that #4745 kills this heisenbug.
