When there is an error during the throughput test, the throughput test never ends.

In my case, the throughput test is in scenario 0 and all tp*@* queue instances
are in Error state. There are about 300 jobs waiting to be scheduled, and the
throughput test waits infinitely - assumedly for the jobs to be scheduled. It
should exit with an severe error, instead.


Btw.: The throughput test should print that it is the throughput test - it
deletes the screen, so there is no way to see what test it currently is.

In the 6.2u5 QA we saw two cases where the throughput test got into this endless
loop. One time the qevent client was built with the wrong compiler and crashed,
one time the qevent client had the wrong GDI version. The testsuite could easily
capture these error reasons that are always very likely.
