Well, I'm fairly sure that it wouldn't work like that for the OS/2 target at least (no FPC exception handler), but that's another story. However, I believe this may happen for other targets too - if you have a misbehaving RTL routine that overwrites half of your heap, you'll probably end up in the whole program crashing (i.e. if all the tests are run in one process, some of the tests will never be started).
