    The main thread is the only one that can signal test failure in
    CTest framework, and the main thread won't have a chance to check for
    passage or failure of the test until the main loop has terminated.  So
    here we just record the failure result, then we check this result in the
    processTestResults() function, throwing an exception at that point to
    indicate to CTest that the test failed.
