I didn't say that, but it IMHO suffices to have unique names in the
namespace of a ptest run.
> It would be far less error prone. With a test you want to run many
times, having a dozen copies of Sage around for test purposes is quite a
sensible thing to do with multi-core machines. Havving to set DOT_SAGE for
each is annoying, when a unique temporary file could be made.
As I said, you can automatically set up unique test directories by setting
one of the above variables e.g. based on the "login" shell's PID, one per
terminal / shell.
If multiple machines share the same filesystem, simply add e.g. the
hostname, too.
