When running a test suite with the -f flag (--failfast), unittest seems to stop running tests once it exits a with self.subTest block.

In the attached script, run it without -f and test_b will run and fail. Run it with the -f flag and only the test_a test will run. test_b will not run and no errors will be reported.

I noticed this bug in 3.4.1 on OS X
