CU_basic_show_failures() fails to properly run tests

[Michael D. Stemle, Jr.]

When I am building a test for my own library, I notice that the test binaries generated linking against the version of CUnit in the main repo doesn't actually run any tests, but does give an error code which is apparently detached from error messages. This is easily replicable and I have a test program that works like a charm.

To contrast, I built the latest version of CUnit from sourceforge and I did not see this same erroneous behavior, it worked just fine.

System info:

manchicken@chickenSandwich:~/Documents/Devel$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 13.04
Release: 13.04

manchicken@chickenSandwich:~/Documents/Devel$ apt-cache policy libcunit1-dev

Here is what I expect, given my test program (note, this is actual output using the latest stable version from SF:
------------------------------------------
manchicken@chickenSandwich:~/Documents/Devel$ ./libcunit1-bug
I'm here!

Here's what I get using the latest from the main repo:
------------------------------------------
manchicken@chickenSandwich:~/Documents/Devel$ ./libcunit1-bug
I'm here!
Error running tests: (20)No Error

I'm done!
------------------------------------------

Here is how to build my test program: $ gcc -o libcunit1-bug ./libcunit1-bug.c -lcunit
I have attached my test program to this bug report.
