Summary:                    If CTest terminates via abort() , it displays a
message box waiting for user input
Description: 
We use ctest in a fully automated non-interactive environment. 

We now experienced ctest aborting in an unusual way using the "abort()"
system call.  This results in a message box waiting for the user 
pressing "OK".  This is not the expected behaviour of a non-interactive program.

Default behaviour on windows of "abort()" is to display a message box 

   ---------------------------
   Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
   ---------------------------
   Runtime Error!

   Program: C:\Workspace\MyApp\Release\MyApp.exe

   abnormal program termination

   ---------------------------
   OK   
   ---------------------------

And additionally the program exits with status code 3.

I would expect ctest only to stop with status code 3 without displaying this
annoying msg-box.
