It maybe your version of ctest (that is a very old version...)

Here is one example:

http://www.cdash.org/CDash/viewTest.php?onlyfailed&buildid=175525

It can show some other stuff as well:

     "Not Run",
     "Timeout",
     "SEGFAULT",
     "ILLEGAL",
     "INTERRUPT",
     "NUMERICAL",
     "OTHER_FAULT",
     "BAD_COMMAND",
