ReadmeDoctests test flaky in fresh repo

[chkno]

The ReadmeDoctests tests introduced in #37 sometimes fail non-deterministically.

For example, I ran cargo test 100 times and it failed 12 times.
... But then I ran it a thousand more times and never saw it fail again.
But then I made a fresh clone of the this repo, ran cargo test 100 times, and saw it fail 22 times!

So it somehow seems to be related to running tests from a fresh repo?

The first failure's error message says something about AlreadyExists and all later error messages are about CorruptLog:

First run of cargo test after fresh clone:

...
running 51 tests
...
test result: ok. 51 passed; 0 failed; 0 ignored; 0 measured; 0 filtered out; finished in 0.11s
