That's also what happens when noncontig_coll2 was failing.  We did ok
until a different process tried to open the file that another process
just deleted.  By turning the ncache timeout way down (not disabled, but
set to a very short interval), the test would pass.  Guess the delete
from one process wasn't visible (is that the right word?) to other
processes.
