Public bug reported:

I have a simple test fixture with a SetUp method that runs before each test method.
The SetUp method throws an exception, or calls Assert.Fail().

The GUI reports a failure in the test itself, and doesn't indicate in
any way that the failure actually came from the SetUp method. The only
way to find that out is to go to the file and line number mentioned in
the stack trace.

I should mention that this doesn't happen when the SetUp method is
defined in another class which is a SetUpFixture (in which case the GUI
says "Parent SetUp failed in MySetUpFixtureClass").

Using NUnit 2.5.5.10112.
