It's not entirely clear if bail out means kill the testing process or let 
the process finish but don't start any more.  If it's the former, then just 
kill everything.  If it's the latter, let them all finish and don't start any 
more.

Yes. We need to display something to say we're waiting for tests to  
complete - then the impatient can Ctrl-C them :)
