If this is what I think it is, then it's a known issue in the test
suite: the actual file-handling code in Django is fine and passes the
tests which exercise it under situations which can lead to race
conditions, but the test runner itself vulnerable to race conditions
when you run multiple instances of the test suite in parallel, since
they stomp all over each other's working data.
