Status in NUnit V2 Test Framework: Fix Committed

Bug description:
Bug reported by Steve Robbins in the nunit-discuss mailing list. For details, see

"We recently had time to revisit this issue.  Using JetBrains DotTrace,
my colleague has verified that nunit is holding onto references to the
test fixture
after the fixture has completed executing.  We've seen that the
references are being held by the ParameterizedMethodSuite. At some
point a ParameterizedMethodSuite is being created with the "fixture"
value being set to the test being run.  However, it is not set to null
when the test completes (the fixture property of some other Test class
is set to null, but not the fixture
property of the ParameterizedMethodSuite).

"It seems that the following code change solves the problem. In
Nunit.Core.ParameterizedMethodSuite.Run add the following lines before
exiting the function:

           this.Fixture = null;
           this.setUpMethods = null;
           this.tearDownMethods = null;"
