New issue 585 by pekka.klarck: Timeouts and fatal errors should stop
execution of templated tests immediately
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=585
The executing of test with a test template should stop immediately if there
is test/keyword timeout or a fatal error. For example, all the rounds of
the following tests are executed in RF 2.5:

[Template] Sleep
0.3 seconds
0.2 seconds
0.1 seconds

Fail This should not be executed

errors end the execution also in this case or not. My intuition says it's
better not to do that but I'm easily convinced otherwise.
