Yes. If a program exits in error, the tests will continue. It says
"7 test ended in error" or something like that. Those may be
segfaults or something of the like (different than a test FAILURE,
which is indicated by file comparisons failed). This is achieved by
using make with the -k flag (ignore errors).
