Building node from master on Arch Linux x86_64, I find that tests in test/simple/test-repl-tab-complete.js get skipped silently (no assertions thrown, no core dumps, etc.) after the following function call: https://github.com/joyent/node/blob/master/test/simple/test-repl-tab-complete.js#L152 .

Steps to reproduce / test:

• Change https://github.com/joyent/node/blob/master/test/simple/test-repl-tab-complete.js#L152-L154 to read:

console.log("before testMe.complete()");
testMe.complete('inner.o', function(error, data) {
  console.log("-> before assert.deepEqual()");
  assert.deepEqual(data, doesNotBreak);
  console.log("-> after assert.deepEqual()");
});
console.log("after testMe.complete()");

• Run the test manually, so console messages don't get suppressed.

Actual output:

$ out/Release/node test/simple/test-repl-tab-complete.js
before testMe.complete()
-> before assert.deepEqual()
$

Assuming that the test should pass, this is the expected output:

$ out/Release/node test/simple/test-repl-tab-complete.js
before testMe.complete()
-> before assert.deepEqual()
-> after assert.deepEqual()
after testMe.complete()
$

It looks like this assert.deepEqual() causes execution to skip any further processing of the tests.
