Actually I said this wrong. It's worse than that: after one assert failure, _all_ further execution is aborted, meaning that even unit tests in _other_ modules will be prevented from running. And you can't change this behavior, even if you override the assert failure handler, since for some reason the compiler expects the handler to throw an AssertError, and if it doesn't, a segfault may result.
