Public bug reported:

I am using nunit 2.5.8.10295.

I'm using nunit to do unit testing for an ASP.NET MVC 2 project.  I have
a solution with two projects, one being the actual application, and the
other being the unit tests.  I use the nunit.exe gui to run the unit
tests.  I invoke the tests by opening up the dll produced by building
the project.  Everything runs fine, but I've noticed that every run
spins off a new instance of nunit-agent.exe.  This instances never
shutdown, and slowly gobble away at system resources and degrade
usability substantially.  It seems to me that nunit.exe should shut down
nunit-agent.exe when it is no longer needed, correct?
