Description

Running tests leaves directories lying around in /tmp owned by the user running the test, which makes it impossible for any other user on the same system to run the tests:

```
$ ls -ld /tmp/*prevalence*
drwxr-xr-x 3 _nixbld1 wheel 96 Sep 30 22:46 /tmp/master-test-prevalence-system
drwxr-xr-x 3 _nixbld1 wheel 96 Sep 30 22:46 /tmp/slave-test-prevalence-system
drwxr-xr-x 5 _nixbld1 wheel 160 Sep 30 22:46 /tmp/test-managed-prevalence-system
```

This is particularly apparent with Nix, which uses a daemon with special dedicated system users for building & testing.
