doctest.DocFileTest inserts the test's path into the globs as "__file__", but doctest.DocTestCase's tearDown method simply calls globs.clear(), so that subsequent runs of the test case will not receive the same initial globals. This means that doctests referencing __file__ cannot be run repeatedly without using a custom setUp that restores __file__. I think most would expect symmetry between setUp and tearDown, and in fact zope.testrunner operates with this false assumption when run with the "-N" option to repeat a test N times.
