[issue2604] doctest.DocTestCase fails when run repeatedly

the same result.

This is true, but modifying the globals such that subsequent runs of the
same test can break equally affects subsequent runs of any other tests
that use that module:  such a test is already broken (unsafe to run with
other tests) to begin with, independent of the DocTestCase.tearDown issue.
