Thanks Charlie for getting that fix committed, is there any place where
I might find a nightly development build to test the fix? or is my best
bet to try and build locally? I'll admit I'm pretty new to Launchpad and
I'm not quite sure how to grab the latest version of the source.

Status in NUnit V2 Test Framework: Fix Committed

Bug description:
If a test fixture is being run in a different process (using nunit-agent), every now and then nunit-console will print out the results of the tests and exit, but the nunit-agent process will hang around indefinitely.

I believe the issue is with .NET Remoting, specifically the TestAgent/RemoteTestAgent.Stop operations.  Stop is marked as a one-way call, which tells the .NET Framework that the call can be completed asynchronously.  However, this also means that when nunit-console exits immediately after calling Stop, the message may never actually be sent to the nunit-agent.

Recommend removing the OneWay attribute so that the call is completed synchronously and thereby guaranteed to be delivered.
