I don't use unittest, I have been using pytest I don't
know what might be going on.  Others have used unittest
and it is used in some of the "core" tests in the myhdl
test suite.

This seems odd, when the simulation ends it should clean
up, I imagine it is no different that the pytest case that
run multiple simulations with tracing.  As an example I added
a second test to the gist used in the other thread, if run
with pytest (`>> py.test constant_type.py`) the test runs
and creates two VCD files.

If you have a sandbox example that fails with unittest
we can create an issue for it.
