New submission from Michael Foord <mich...@voidspace.org.uk>:

Reported by a unittest2 user. 

A SystemExit (or GeneratorExit) will cause a test run to stop in 2.7 / 3.2. 
This would just be reported as an error in 2.6.

>>> from unittest import TestCase
>>> def test(s):
...  raise GeneratorExit
... 
>>> class T(TestCase):
...  test = test
... 
>>> t = T('test')
>>> t.run()


Above code works in Python 2.6 (the exception is caught by TestCase.run) but 
dies in 2.7 / 3.2
