Status in NUnit V2 Test Framework: New

Bug description:
After opening and running an NUnit project in the GUI test runner I am unable to build my solution in Visual Studio. The build fails with the following error.

Unable to copy file "C:\Projects\Foo\Foo.Bar\bin\Debug\Foo.Bar.dll" to "bin\Debug\Foo.Bar.dll". The process cannot access the file 'bin\Debug\Foo.Bar.dll' because it is being used by another process.

Foo.Bar.dll is the assembly under test, my tests are in a separate assembly, Foo.Bar.Tests.dll which has a referrence to the Foo.Bar project.

I have to close the NUnut project, rebuild then reopen the project. 
This was not an issue in NUnit 2.5.3 (2.5.3.9345). The GUI would not lock an files, rebuilding the solution triggered a reload of the assemblies.
