  Funny enough it doesn't work this way. I went through this when I
first wrote DejaGnu. If a test run fails part way through, most people
just stop running the tests...  :-(

  The idea is to be able to run a test suite and have a list of all the
failures. Then that list can be diff'd against a previous run to find
regressions or new bugs.
