It's not meant to... It's meant to run a function on all the elements in a
list - if you need to do 'failout on error' use a for loop:

	GSList *curent;
	for(curent = alist; curent; curent = g_slist_next(curent)) {
		if(error) break;
		/* Do stuff */
	}

There's nothing magical about what g_*list_foreach() does that can't be
reproduced in a couple of lines of code ;-)
