HTTP Error 500 on failed CPP Unit Test

[joel -at- oneac.com]

Running trunk rev 515.

500 Server Error occurs if the unit test step fails .. in this case, it is failing in such a way that there is no XML output. (Test runner crashed)

This is a serious problem because this particular build keeps going over-and-over forever, because the master never registers it as completed.

Error traceback from trac.log:

Could you please try with latest trunk/0.6dev? Following [702] it should be better at handling errors.

Not sure if I should be creating a new ticket. I'm having the same problem with the latest trunk revision (1027) I'm running tests using xunit -xml output that gets transformed by xsl:

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
    <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" cdata-section-elements="stdout" />
    <xsl:template match="/">
        <report category="test">
            <xsl:apply-templates />
        </report>
    </xsl:template>
    <xsl:template match="//assemblies/assembly/collection/test">
        <test>
            <status>
                <xsl:if test="@result = 'Pass'">success</xsl:if>
                <xsl:if test="@result != 'Pass'">failure</xsl:if>
            </status>
            <fixture><xsl:value-of select="../@name" /></fixture>
            <name><xsl:value-of select="@name" /></name>
            <duration><xsl:value-of select="@time" /></duration>
			<xsl:if test="@result = 'Fail'">
				<stdout><xsl:value-of select="failure/message" /></stdout>
			</xsl:if>
        </test>
    </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

If I leave out the stdout output the test completes successfully, but if I include the stdout the server crashes with a 500 server error. I try the transformation using xmlstarlet and it seems to do the right thing. I've tried both with and without the cdata-section-elements, but that does not seem to change much.
