Description:
------------
PEAR Version: 1.4.6
PHP Version: 5.1.2-1+b1
Zend Engine Version: 2.1.0
Running on: Linux 2.6.15 i686
Reproducable: Always

When I put a test in a try-catch block, the assertEquals test passes. It should fail.

* I found it out while testing a normal class. Then I created a new testcase especially to test this. See the included code sample. Due to a lack for other development machines, I was not able to test it on other machines too.

Test script:
---------------
<?php

require_once('PHPUnit2/Framework/TestCase.php');

class PT extends PHPUnit2_Framework_TestCase
{

function testPHPUnitPasses()
{
try {
$this->assertEquals(1,2);
} catch (Exception $e) {}
}

function testPHPUnitFails()
{
$this->assertEquals("a","b");
}

}

?>

Expected result:
----------------
PHPUnit 2.3.5 by Sebastian Bergmann.

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug.

This is the expected behaviour.
