I didn't make myself clear.  The tests are separate
processes, they can only pause winetest by popping up a
dialog box and waiting for the user to close it.  I tried

    SetErrorMode (SEM_FAILCRITICALERRORS);

but this didn't help.  If this worked we would need timeout
for looping tests only.  Unfortunately I'm not a Windows
guru to solve this without much experimentation (or at all).
