tests that are meant to abort()

If I had to guess, I’d say what is happening in your case is that your standard output isn’t getting flushed, so you’re losing that output (which would have nothing to do with ctest). Note that exit() does flush all output C streams, whereas I don’t believe abort() does.

Thanks for this - you’re of course right about not hijacking threads as well. I moved this to a separate discussion now and posted a reply there.
