Obviously, some other test isn't cleaning up after itself.

The way to debug this is by trial and error, running this test in combination
with other tests until it fails. (It would be cool, in some future version of the
test runner, to automate the search process.  Even a simple option to run
tests by number would probably help a lot, making a manual binary search
pretty easy.)
