Don't if it's exactly that bug but found a problem in PNUnit that cause PNUnit to hang at NotifyResult. In Agent, PNUnitTestRunner.cs if a exception occur in the finally @ ThreadProc:124, the agent just seems to hang or crash without error.
      
In my case if I put a invalid test name in my *.conf file, FindResult return null for result and BuildResult check for IsSuccess causing NullReferenceException

//Fix  for my case
--return null  @ FindResult:196
++return result  @ FindResult:196

Also comparing to PNUnit version I have downloaded your PNUnit seems to
be outdated, the PNUnitTestRunner.cs is signicantly different.

PNUnit Hangs on Simple Test

Bug description:
There's currently a problem with pNUnit where the notification of results
simply hangs. To repro,

1) Build latest source with nant build.
2) Change to build\net\2.0\debug, assuming you're on
a windows machine. I haven't verified this problem
on linux yet.
3) copy agent.log.conf to launcher.log.conf
4) runpnunit.bat

The agent window shows the following:

INFO PNUnit.Agent.PNUnitAgent - Registering channel on port 8080 INFO
PNUnit.Agent.PNUnitAgent - RunTest called for Test Testing, AssemblyName p
nunit.tests.dll, TestToRun TestLibraries.Testing.EqualTo19 INFO
PNUnit.Agent.PNUnitTestRunner - Spawning a new thread INFO
PNUnit.Agent.PNUnitTestRunner - Thread entered for Test Testing:TestLibrar
ies.Testing.EqualTo19 Assembly pnunit.tests.dll INFO
PNUnit.Agent.PNUnitTestRunner - Notifying the results

The launcher window shows this:

INFO launcher - Test 1 of 1
DEBUG launcher - Thread created for TestGroup Testing with 1 tests INFO
launcher - Starting Testing test Testing on localhost:8080 DEBUG launcher -
Thread going to wait for results for TestGroup Testing

It appears that NotifyResult() in the launcher is never entered. A problem
with remoting?

Comment from SF:

As a temporary fix, pnunit.tests.dll is in the same directory as
pnunit-agent.exe and pnunit-launcher.exe. The nunit.framework and
pnunit.framework assemblies are being copied to the
same directory.

PNUnit should allow the same flexibility of appbase and probing paths that
NUnit itself supports.
