Ok, that explains it.  Thanks.

Yeah, placing it in its own setup may be the best.  There are quite
a many set-ups outside the tests in this script from the olden days,
so I am OK if left it as-is and have a separate clean-up patch after
this topic settles.  I am also OK to add a new one "the new right way"
so that a later clean-up patch does not have to change what is added
in this step.
