Yes, due to the nature of how a JVM can fail... especially with respect 
to hanging and doing nothing, you have to wrap execution of each test 
case in a fashion that will kill the JVM if it does not exit in a 
reasonable period of time.  I think this batch_run utility does that.  I 
used to have a nice little set of scripts that did something similar and 
created pretty graphs.
