Right and that is mainly because "suspended" is just another word for
run-time error. :o) And it depends on whether you treat this error as
just another failure and go on with the search or if you make the
machine go to full stop. Personally, I think that full-stop failures
should be done only when strictly necessary, like "out-of-memory" and such.
