OK, I seem to have narrowed it down into two testcases - one that succeeds,
one that fails.
The difference between the two?
One uses Class::DBI::Loader to initialise the cDBI package, and the other
creates one via manual Class::DBI calls.

The cDBI::Loader version fails quickly; the other runs successfully under a
heavy ab (apache benchmark) test indefinately.

I don't know *why* using the ::Loader causes tests to fail when run
concurrently though. That's still pretty damn weird.
