Right. Which is Ian's initial complaint.

The question is whether you get the same behavior if you were to import that in
a different script and repeatedly call that program, would it still work? I
suspect that it now does, since swift will use both the static random name, as
well as the thread id, which will be a mix of the parent thread id and the
stand-alone thread ids.

Though if you had hard-mapped files, you would still run into problems.
