The OP complained (rightly so) that failures in one set of tests were 
hidden if a further set of tests passed.

This patch forced the entire test run to abort on failure of a single 
harness, which doesn't mask the failures.

It might not be ideal (as particle suggests in a followup post, having 
ALL the results reported in a single summary would be nice), but the 
original issue is resolved.
