And if grep, cscope, etc do their magic correctly, you should
end up in the testsuites/support directory.

You will see it is a special assert for the Classic API tests which
checks for thread dispatching being enabled again and
return code of RTEMS_SUCCESS. On failure, it prints a uniform
message and calls rtems_test_exit().

There are variations for cases which do not expect RTEMS_SUCCESS
and are not expected to return with thread dispatching enabled.
