parallelism has to be accounted for, otherwise you could do something like
write to /tmp/program.s and expect it to not be modified -- that won't work
when running tests in parallel since tests would overwrite files used by other
tests (we already have that problem with vcd and gtkw files, luckily the tests
don't need to read the files back in, otherwise they'd fail).
