Summary:                    CTest ignores RUN_SERIAL if test gets run as a
dependency of another test
Description: 
I've attached a test case that reproduces the problem to this issue.

The "sleep" command may have to be substituted with something platform specific
(sorry I couldn't find a portable sleep replacement in cmake).

When I run it on my system with ctest -j 24
the following tests are started simultaneously:
    Start 8: i_want_to_be_alone
    Start 6: i_like_company_5
    Start 5: i_like_company_4
    Start 4: i_like_company_3
    Start 3: i_like_company_2
    Start 2: i_like_company_1
    Start 1: i_like_company_0

I'd expect "i_want_to_be_alone" to be run by itself.
